Kenya Economic Outlook

Real GDP growth increased to an estimated 6.0% in 2016, up from 5.6% in 2015, with the expansion projected to continue in 2017 and 2018, supported by large investments and growth in the service sector.
A stable macroeconomic environment with single-digit inflation (averaging 6% in 2016) prevailed as political campaigning for the August 2017 general elections got underway.
Kenya has sophisticated entrepreneurship by regional standards but could increase its global footprint through increased investments in information technology.
