(Image: X)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>1. Jobs: Who&#8217;s Hiring?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jobs are bouncing back.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, the number of people in formal employment hit 3.3 million, up by 3.7%. What\u2019s driving this? The private sector.<\/p>\n<p>It created 91,800 new jobs, dwarfing the 27,100 added by the public sector. But let\u2019s not forget: informal employment &#8211; think jua kali, market stalls, gigs &#8211; still accounts for over 80% of all jobs.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s 16.8 million hustles powering the nation.<\/p>\n<p>So yes, the economy is healing. But the spotlight must stay on dignifying informal work and ensuring youth and women get a bigger slice of the employment pie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Big Strides in Infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been stuck in traffic or dodging potholes, here\u2019s some hope.<\/p>\n<p>The government spent KSh 471.9 billion on roads, rail, ports, and housing &#8211; a 13.2% jump from the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t just concrete and tarmac; it\u2019s a signal of serious intent to connect people, markets, and opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Road construction took the lion\u2019s share, with 11,908 km of roads under maintenance or development.<\/p>\n<p>Housing projects, under the Affordable Housing Programme, also picked up pace &#8211; and we\u2019re seeing more keys handed to first-time homeowners.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Industry &amp; Manufacturing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Manufacturing grew by 2.0% in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Not explosive, but steady. Food and beverages led the pack, contributing over 40% of the total manufacturing output. Cement, sugar, and steel were also on the up.<\/p>\n<p>But we still import more than we make.<\/p>\n<p>The message is clear &#8211; we must produce more locally, and the government\u2019s focus on value addition and Buy Kenya, Build Kenya must now translate into real action on the ground.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Trade &amp; Investment: Who&#8217;s Buying What?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kenya exported goods worth KSh 1 trillion, up from KSh 873 billion.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s progress &#8211; especially in tea, horticulture, and apparel. But imports still dominate, clocking in at KSh 2.5 trillion. That\u2019s a trade deficit of KSh 1.5 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>However, the rise in exports means local producers are finding footing globally.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s needed now is more muscle for SMEs, easing logistics, and pushing regional trade aggressively under the AfCFTA umbrella.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_226908\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-226908\" style=\"width: 701px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-226908\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/images-6.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"701\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/images-6.jpeg 701w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/images-6-300x187.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-226908\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A jua kali artisan in a workshop in Githurai 44, Nairobi (Image: Files)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>5. Money Matters: Banking &amp; Finance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The financial sector is holding strong. Commercial bank deposits grew by 11.4%, hitting KSh 5.2 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>Lending to the private sector increased too, a good sign for business growth.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile money remains king &#8211; with over 2 billion transactions made through services like M-PESA and Airtel Money.<\/p>\n<p>In short, more Kenyans are banking, saving, and transacting digitally. The shift to mobile and agency banking is not just convenience &#8211; it\u2019s power in your palm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In a Nutshell &#8230;&#8230;\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 2025 Economic Survey doesn\u2019t just capture numbers &#8211; it tells the story of resilience, rebuilding, and recalibration.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not yet at the summit, but the path is clearing.<\/p>\n<p>The government\u2019s agenda is clear: build, empower, include.
