Kenya’s economy experiences a 5% growth in the second quarter of 2025

Kenya’s economy grew by 5.0% year-over-year (KEGDPQ=ECI) in the second quarter of 2025, up from 4.6% in the same quarter last year, according to the country’s statistics office on Tuesday.

A report from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics said that most of the growth came from the transportation, agriculture, and banking sectors.

Trumpeter William Ruto predicted in August that East Africa’s biggest economy would grow 5.6% this year, up from 4.7% the previous year.

The finance ministry says that global trade disagreements, market volatility, and extreme weather can all hurt Kenya’s growth.
