There is a silent revolution under way, which is transforming Kenya for the better. Hardly a week goes by in Nairobi without an African investors’ conference or a growth summit. Silicon Valley companies are flocking in Kenya to learn about the ICT revolution taking place in the East Africa’s “Silicon Savannah”. Investors looking out for new growth markets are increasingly looking at Africa’s potential. The macroeconomic environment was never as good as it is today. Indeed, if Kenya was in the EU, it would have one of the Union’s lowest debt levels. For the first time, it seems that sustainable development is within reach in Kenya.

State to setup fund to boost exports - http://www.nation.co.ke/...4/-/d9wpl4z/-/index.html Such strategies are what is required to form platforms for the econ. I hope that KES devaluation talk goes away. It serves no purpose at the moment until those platforms are fully setup.

The decline has been attributed to insecurity fears across the country, the eurozone debt crisis in traditional source market and uncertainties surrounding the just concluded General Election.

Treasury sets Sh85bn target for international bond The government Tuesday confirmed that it would seek $1 billion (Sh85 billion) through a sovereign bond from international lenders. It set off the search for transaction advisors for what is set to be Kenya’s maiden eurobond issue. The Treasury has harboured plans to issue a sovereign bond for more than six years, but the call for applications for lead counsel and manager is the clearest indication that it will pursue the loan in this year. “The government is considering accessing the international capital markets by the second half of the calendar year 2013 to issue a sovereign bond. The targeted amount is provisionally set at $1,000 million,” reads part of an advertisement published in Tuesday’s newspapers. The amount will be used for infrastructure development
