From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The List of counties of Kenya by Gross County Product (GCP) shows the economic output of counties in Kenya. It is calculated by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), which aggregates the value of all goods and services produced within a county during a specific period. GCP is an essential indicator for assessing the economic performance and potential of different regions within the country. Nairobi County is the largest contributor to the national economy, accounting for approximately 27.5% of Kenya's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It is followed by Nakuru ,Kiambu, Mombasa and Meru . Nairobi also ranks as the wealthiest county by GDP per capita, estimated at USD 6,300. It is closely followed by Mombasa County. Nakuru, Nyeri, Nyandarua, Lamu, and Embu, are also among the richest counties in the country.

Growth

[edit]
Economic Growth in Kenya by County

Marsabit County recorded the highest growth at 9.3%, largely driven by major investments like the Lake Turkana Wind Power project. It was followed by other high-performing counties including Tana River County (7.6%), Nakuru (6.9%), and Kajiado (6.3%). At the other end, Embu County had the lowest growth at just 0.9%, primarily due to shift in climatic patterns. It was among the bottom five counties, which also included Elgeyo-Marakwet (1.2%), Nyamira (1.9%), Bungoma (2.1%), and Kisii (2.8%). Overall, economic growth was highest in the northern, coastal, and North Rift region, fueled by energy, infrastructure, and tourism, whereas western and central regions experienced slower expansion because of their dependence on climate-based agriculture.
