Kenya has one of East Africa's largest and most dynamic economies, a regional hub for finance, technology, and trade, with a diversified base in services, agriculture, and a celebrated mobile-money revolution.

Nairobi is a continental business and innovation center, and Kenya pioneered mobile banking (M-Pesa), though high debt and inequality remain challenges.

Key Sectors

Key sectors include agriculture (tea and coffee are leading exports, along with cut flowers), tourism built on famous wildlife and safaris, financial and mobile-money services, and a growing technology sector ('Silicon Savannah').
