Kenya’s economy advanced by 4.0% year-on-year in Q4 2025, the slowest expansion since Q1 2021, compared to a downwardly revised 4.8% rise in the previous period. The key agricultural sector contracted by 1.3%, after growing 3.8% in the preceding period, amid lingering effects of last year’s drought, weighing on overall growth. At the same time, output slowed in some activities such as accommodation & food services (18.3% vs 23.6% in Q3); professional, administrative & support services (2.1% vs 7.1%); education (2.1% vs 3.9%) and manufacturing (1.1% vs 2.7%). On a seasonally adjusted quarterly basis, the GDP rose by 1.1%. The economic growth slowed to 4.6% in 2025 from a revised 4.7% in 2024, mainly weighed down by weaker agricultural output (3.1% vs 4.4%) due to erratic rainfall and slower manufacturing activity (2% vs 3%). Transport, tourism, and information and communication also posted softer growth, while construction rebounded.
