The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) has launched a survey report on the contribution of the film industry to the economy.

KNBS said the Film Industry Satellite Account Survey (Fisa) was developed due to lack of verified data about the local film industry and audio-visual sectors, which according to the State agency is a major barrier to the design of government interventions and investment by the private sector.
