NAIROBI: Kenya's central bank Governor Kamau Thugge said on Wednesday that the bank expected the Kenyan economy would grow 5.5% in 2025.

The projection by the central bank governor comes a day after the bank cut its benchmark lending rate by 25 basis points, the first rate cut in about four years. (Reporting by George Obulutsa and Bhargav Acharya; Editing by Alexander Winning)
