The economy expanded by five percent in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 4.6 percent in the same period last year, driven by a rebound in construction activity and strong performance in the agriculture and financial sectors.
A new report by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) on the country’s total economic output, or gross domestic product (GDP), shows that growth in construction helped stimulate the economy, which also benefited from lower interest and exchange rates.
