Abstract:

GDP growth was disappointing in H1 2016, slowing to just 3.9% due to weakness in agriculture, well below the 5.5% pace in H1 2015. But prospects remain largely positive. Growth is expected to pick up again in H2, driven by a recovery in the agricultural sector accompanied by strong momentum in the industrial and services sectors. We forecast GDP growth at 5.1% in 2016, unchanged from our previous projection, rising to 5.8% in 2017 and then just over 6% a year in 2018-20. Economic activity will be supported by a loosening of monetary policy as easing external headwinds and aggressive monetary policy actions have now succeeded in curbing inflation, down to 4.2% in September. Strong public investment, with the government putting forward another expansionary budget for the 2016/17 fiscal year, will also be a key growth driver moving forward. Furthermore, the development of the hydrocarbons sector and the extent and pace of regional trade and economic integration within the East African Community also hold upside growth potential.
