KNBS further reported that electricity and water supply grew by 5.7 percent in Q2 2025, up from 1.2 percent in the corresponding quarter of 2024.
While agriculture continued to benefit from favourable weather supporting crop and livestock production, the sector’s Gross Value Added (GVA) slowed slightly compared to the previous year’s performance.
