Kenya's Economy

Kenya is known to be the most diversified economy and the largest country among the East African Community (EAC). The country is primarily driven by the private sector, and it is the second-highest-ranking economy in sub-Saharan Africa, just after Rwanda. Hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, there was strong growth in the agricultural sector but certain industries such as tourism and education were affected. With several measures in place, Kenya is committed to fiscal stability, finding the appropriate balance between the country’s stability, and boosting growth. The country is known for an increasingly younger population, a dynamic private sector, talent, enhanced infrastructure and has thus the potential to be one of Africa’s success stories.
