The report highlights Kenya’s favourable growth prospects on account of improved macroeconomic stability, on-going upgrading of infrastructure and investment in irrigation, structural reforms following the implementation of the Constitution of Kenya, the discovery of oil and other minerals, regional integration that favours Kenya as a regional hub, and inancial sector deepening. While growth for 2014 is projected at 5.1 per cent compared to the MTP II target of 7.2 per cent, the report argues for the need to develop a resilient and globally competitive economy as a strategy to navigate global challenges that may undermine Kenya’s growth prospects.
