The latest figure compared with the value when the new government took office – and, for comparison, how the indicator moved over the same length of time before the change. This is a short period: the indicators are also strongly driven by the world economy, earlier decisions and seasonal effects, so changes cannot be attributed to the new government alone.

About this indicator

KSH monthly earnings data covering all employers. The coloured line is the gross and the grey line the net average wage. Spikes in February and December come from bonuses, so compare each month with the same month a year earlier.
