Kenya recently rebased its economy, which in a layman’s language means recalculating the gross domestic product (GDP), the measure of the country’s economy.
Kenya’s GDP per capita is now $1,269, (say Sh112,941) which has propelled the country to the superior category of ‘lower middle income’. This ‘lower middle income’ status is a World Bank grouping of 53 countries whose average income lies between $1,036 and $4,085 (GDP per capita).
