NAIROBI (Reuters) -Kenya’s economy grew 5.1% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 6.1% in the same quarter of the previous year, the country’s statistics office said on Tuesday.
The economy grew 4.7% in 2024 as a whole, compared to growth of 5.7% in 2023, Kenya’s National Bureau of Statistics said in a report.
The statistics agency said last year’s growth drivers included agriculture, forestry and fishing, finance and insurance, transportation and real estate.
However sectors like mining, quarrying and construction contracted, it said.
