Kenya’s gross domestic product is projected to recover to 5.3% in 2021 according to NCBA economic outlook report. The report attributes this growth to increased activity in education construction, ICT, health and agriculture sectors. The report further cites that Covid-19 vaccination remains a major policy imperative in achieving a strong, sustainable, and inclusive growth which, subject to vaccine availability, could enhance confidence later in the year.
