| description |
Kenya may be at a "tipping
point," the theme of the third Kenya economic update
which has a special focus on the transformative impact of
information and communication technology (ICT) and mobile
money. Over the last decade, ICT has outperformed all others
sectors growing at an average of 20 percent per year. The
benefits of ICT are starting to be felt in other sectors,
and have contributed to the conditions for Kenya to reach
this tipping point. Kenya has entered the new decade with
renewed and stronger than expected growth. The passing of
the new constitution, continued strong macroeconomic
policies, and a favorable regional environment have created
a new positive economic momentum. Kenya may again be
positioned to experience high growth. Over the last three
decades Kenya has experienced only two short episodes when
economic growth exceeded five percent and was sustained for
at least three consecutive years: 1986-88, and 2004-2007. Is
Kenya again at the verge of experiencing another growth
spurt? Will it last longer and go deeper than the previous
two episodes? |
