Kenya Frontière

Aperçu économique et sectoriel

Kenya is East Africa's largest economy and a regional hub for finance, technology, and logistics, with services accounting for approximately 53% of GDP. The agriculture sector, including tea, horticulture, and coffee, remains a key foreign-exchange earner and employs the majority of the rural workforce. The mobile money platform M-Pesa, operated by Safaricom, has made Kenya a global reference point for financial technology and digital payments. Tourism, manufacturing, and a growing information and communications technology sector further diversify economic output. Kenya is a member of the East African Community (EAC), the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and COMESA, providing broad regional market access.
