Car, homeowners and players in the energy sector had the worst loans default last year, defying a recovering economy that expanded at the fastest pace in more than three decades.

New data from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) shows that the real estate sector recorded a Sh13.3 billion or 14.1 percent jump in non-performing loans (NPLs) in the period to Sh74.7billion.
