East leads Africa economically | ALB Article
East Africa’s growth was actually slightly down from the 5.9% seen in 2017, but the outlook remains good. In particular the industrial and service sectors in Ethiopia and Rwanda, and the service and agricultural sectors in Tanzania and Kenya have driven growth, although the report noted that agriculture is a vulnerable sector to rely on due to the impact which weather can have, and oil and gas, another key industry, remains at risk from fluctuating international commodities prices.
