Poverty levels in Kenya should resume their pre-coronavirus pandemic decline as the nation’s economy continues to rebound, according to the World Bank. 
The proportion of the population living on less than $2.15 a day is expected to fall to 25.8% this year, from 26.7% in 2021, the Washington-based lender said in its Kenya Economic Update released Thursday. That would be lower that the 26.5% recorded in 2019 before the pandemic struck.
