it appears it is not only the Kenyan N.S.E that is taking a beating,speculators are everywhere and now the wall street is feeling the pinch as a result of the Japan nuclear crisis

Now the rules of economics and the thinkers should formulate theories.Do we go for the classicals and not interfere of for the Keynesians?

@brian - Kenya does not export much to Japan so the effect would be relatively small. As for IMPORTS... yes coz most cars come from Japan [or via Singapore & Dubai]...

Its called the butterfly effect.In the eighties something happened in Iran that affected its silver exports, that caused an increase in dental cost around the world ,the reason being silver is a major component in dental fillings.

So what is happening in japan might affect us in ways we are currently unable to pinpoint until it takes effect.

the rate at which both local and foreign investors are speculating with the local currency is dangerous bearing in mind that we are an importing nation.If the exchange rate for the KSH/usd reaches 90 we r done n rumour has it that is the target,nikubaya.

as for exporting to Japan, if the wall street is feeling the effects of this crisis, how long do u think it will take for foreign investors to chuck from kenya given the fact that political risk has increased. Everything is related in the world especially in financial markets.
