Kenya Overtakes Ghana, Tunisia as Data Revision Boosts GDP

Kenya’s economy overtook those of Tunisia and Ghana after the statistics agency overhauled its data to increase the size of gross domestic product by a quarter.

GDP was measured at $55.2 billion last year from $44.1 billion previously, Zachary Mwangi, acting director-general of the statistics agency, told reporters in the capital, Nairobi. That compares with the World Bank’s estimates of $48 billion for Ghana and $47 billion for Tunisia.
