Dependence on Oil and Gas Revenues in Kenya

An investment report by PineBridge Investments East Africa states that Kenya's petroleum and mineral resources could contribute more than 5 percent to the Kenya's GDP in the medium term and thereby surpass traditional exports such as coffee.

Compared to other resource-dependent Sub-Sahran countries, this share is relatively low. For instance, in Sudan oil makes up 18 percent of GDP and in Nigeria 30 percent of GDP.
