Nairobi’s building approvals dip Sh33bn on pandemic
Summary
The value of building approvals in Nairobi fell Sh33.4 billion in the two months to February, compared to a similar period last year as investors froze investments on the economic uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Data by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that approvals fell to Sh18.4 billion, representing a 35.5 per cent decline.
