The rise is mostly due to a big jump in new orders, which happened because businesses saw stronger demand from both local and regional markets. A lot of businesses said their sales were better and their customers were more confident. As businesses got more orders, they made more goods. This month, suppliers also delivered goods more quickly, which made it easier for businesses to run. Input costs stayed pretty stable, which helped businesses keep their costs down and stay profitable.
Growth Driven by Higher Demand and Better Business Conditions

A Positive Signal for Investors and Regional Trade Partners
This growth is especially good for partners in the Arab region because Kenya is becoming a more stable and attractive place to do business. Investors and trade partners see the better economy as a sign of recovery and long-term potential.
The expanding private sector creates new opportunities in:
Trade and import-export activities
Cross-border logistics and transportation
Hospitality and tourism investment
Agribusiness and food supply
Technology and service industries
Since these sectors are doing better, business cooperation between Kenya and Arab markets could grow even more in the next few months.
A Strong Foundation for 2025
The last few weeks of the year should still be good. Companies are planning to grow, hire more people, and invest more money as business confidence rises. Kenya's economic plans for 2025 are built on the strong performance of the private sector. This momentum helps the Joint Kenya-Arab Chamber of Commerce and Industry (JKACCI) achieve its goal of strengthening economic, business, and industrial ties between Kenya and the Arab world. The better conditions make it possible for joint ventures, trade missions, and strategic partnerships to happen in more than one sector.
