FX.co ★ Kenya's GDP Growth Slows to 4.90% in Q1 2025 Amid Economic Adjustments

Kenya's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has witnessed a modest dip in growth, registering at 4.90% for the first quarter of 2025, a slight decline from the 5.10% mark reported in the last quarter of 2024. The latest GDP figure, updated on July 3, 2025, indicates a quarter-over-quarter comparison reflecting the country's economic dynamics amidst ongoing adjustments.

The recent slowdown in GDP growth comes after a robust performance in late 2024 when the nation recorded a 5.10% increase in the fourth quarter. This tapering is indicative of the subtle shifts within the country's economic framework as it navigates various internal and external pressures.

Economists and policymakers will likely scrutinize these figures closely to strategize and implement measures aimed at revitalizing growth trajectories while managing factors that could potentially hinder economic expansion. The data serves as a vital benchmark for assessing Kenya’s economic health and setting a course for bolstering GDP outcomes in the upcoming quarters.
