Revised figures to increase size of Kenya’s economy

Economists predict Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2013 could hit 20 per cent under the revised system recently adopted by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS).

“The provisional indications are that the revision will be around 20 per cent, increasing GDP in 2013 to $53 billion from the current estimated level of $44.1billion in 2013,” said David Cowan, Chief Economist for Africa at Citibank.
