The Kenyan economy expanded by 5.4 percent between April and June this year, growing at a faster pace than the 5.2 percent growth rate posted at the same time last year.

The growth in the second quarter was supported by a turnaround in the output of the agriculture sector which expanded by 7.7 percent, the fastest pace since 2020, from a contraction of 2.4 percent in 2022.
