The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has revised upwards its economic growth projection for this year to 5% from its earlier projection of 4.9% as volatility in the global oil prices remain.
CBK Governor Dr Kamau Thugge said the 2026 growth forecast will be supported by expansion in the agriculture, services and industry sectors.
“The projected growth of the economy in 2026 has been revised upwards to 5pc from 4.9pc mainly reflecting stronger industry and services sector. This is up from 4.6pc in 2025.
