Kenya’s economy rebounded in 2021 to grow at the fastest pace in 11 years on easing of Covid-19 restrictions which boosted recovery in key sectors excluding agriculture whose activities were hit by poor rainfall.
Data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) showed economic activities expanded 7.5 percent compared with a contraction of 0.3 percent a year earlier when activities almost grounded to a halt because of measures to contain the spread of the pandemic.
