NAIROBI (Reuters) -Kenya’s economy grew 5.0% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2025, up from 4.6% in the same quarter last year, the statistics office said on Tuesday.
The growth mainly came from the agriculture, transportation and finance sectors, the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics said in a report.
In August, President William Ruto said East Africa’s largest economy was forecast to grow 5.6% this year, up from 4.7% last year.
Kenya’s growth trajectory faces risks from global trade disputes, market volatility and extreme weather conditions, the finance ministry has said.
