The gross domestic product of the East Africa region is anticipated to see a growth of 3.4% in 2024 with further increases in 2025 to 4.2%, according to the World Bank. Described as the ‘Rising Economic Jewel of Sub-Saharan Africa’, the region is also expected to contribute 29% to GDP, particularly due to investment into infrastructure which is currently valued at $395 billion (source: ABIQ). With the infrastructure ecosystem rapidly evolving in the region, the launch of East Africa Infrastructure and Water Expo will further complement the rise in urbanization.
