Economists are cautiously optimistic of a better 2018 even as risks to recovery remain a possibility.

According to FocusEconomics, Kenya’s economic growth is likely to bounce back to 5.3 per cent in 2018 from the estimated 5 per cent this year on the back of a recovery in the agricultural sector and increased investment.
