East Africa's economic growth might rebound in 2021, according to estimates done in September that year. For 2020, the real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the region was estimated to expand by only 0.4 percent, weakened due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Kenya might present the strongest growth among nations in the region, at 6.3 percent, after the country's GDP shrunk by 0.1 percent in 2020. On the other hand, Ethiopia's economy might register a four percent growth, against an expansion of 6.1 percent in 2020.
