Kenyan youth know what they want for their country! They want better accountability for how development financing is used and they want to help!
We fielded pertinent and tough questions on how we support debt sustainability & how we monitor effective project execution!
Kenyan youth convened by the @NDI ๐ฐ๐ช in partnership with the @WorldBankGroup held an animated discussion on how the #WorldBank works and how it can work better with young people to enhance development outcomes through better transparency and accountability. #YouthVoices

Kenyaโs monetary and external policy environment remains solid but the fiscal outlook puts the country at a critical crossroads. ๐ฐ๐ช Real GDP growth slowed to 4.7% in 2024 but picked up in 2025: 4.9% in Q1 and 5.0% in Q2. ๐๐ #KenyaEconomicUpdate
Kenyaโs real GDP is projected to grow 4.9% on average between 2025โ2027, an upward revision from both the May 2025 #KenyaEconomicUpdate and the October Macro-Poverty Outlook though risks to the outlook remain elevated. ๐๐ฐ๐ช
Economic growth slowed in 2024 but strengthened in 2025. GDP growth decelerated to 4.7% in 2024, from 5.7% in 2023, on account of tight monetary policy, ongoing fiscal consolidation & heightened policy uncertainty following mid-2024 protests. #KenyaEconomicUpdate
Private sector credit is finally recovering as monetary policy becomes more accommodative growing 5.0% y/y in Sept 2025 after contracting through 2024 and early 2025, a strong reversal from the 2.9% decline seen in Jan 2025. ๐๐ฆ #KenyaEconomicUpdate
Employment growth in 2024 was mainly in the informal sector, reflecting structural challenges. Private & public sector employment (excl. small-scale agriculture & pastoralism) rose to 20.8M from 20.0M in 2023, a 4% increase. #KenyaEconomicUpdate
Kenyaโs foreign exchange reserves hit record highs. The shilling stayed stable vs the US$ at Ksh 129.2 on average over the past 12 months to Sept 2025, though it weakened against other major currencies since early 2025. #KenyaEconomicUpdate
