Economic Growth

Kenya's economy grew 3.6 per cent in the third quarter of 2011, the slowest pace of growth so far witnessed since the end of 2009. In the same period the country's current account deficit tripled from 44.6 billion shillings a year earlier to 133.5 billion in the same period, in a season characterized by a volatile local unit and runaway double digit inflation.
