Kenya’s economic outlook for 2024 shows a projected slowdown, with growth expected to reach 5%, a slight dip from the 5.6% recorded in the previous year, according to the latest report from the World Bank.
The report attributes this moderation in growth to several factors, including ongoing efforts towards fiscal consolidation, a tightened monetary policy stance, and a gradual easing of the agricultural sector’s robust performance.
However, amidst these adjustments, there are indicators of resilience, particularly within the service sector, coupled with anticipated export recovery, which are poised to inject momentum into Kenya’s economic trajectory.
Key determinants shaping Kenya’s economic path include the necessity of favorable rainfall patterns, adherence to planned fiscal consolidation measures, and the effective execution of the government’s structural reform agenda.
Alma Nurshaikhova, a senior public sector specialist at the World Bank, highlighted several factors expected to support growth, such as favorable agricultural yields, a conducive inflationary environment, a rebound in employment figures, and a steady expansion in credit accessibility for the private sector.
Remittance inflows, a crucial aspect of Kenya’s economic dynamics, are projected to remain resilient throughout 2024, providing sustained support to household incomes.
As Kenya navigates through these economic nuances, attention remains focused on the effective implementation of policy measures aimed at sustaining growth momentum while addressing emerging challenges.
