NOTE FROM THE
CABINET SECRETARY Ambassador Amina Mohammed
I
am pleased to welcome you to the 2nd Kenya Trade and Investment Summit. The Summit provides an ideal forum to explore trade and investment opportunities that will further deepen the Kenya - South Africa relations and generate additional impetus for the sustainable growth of our respective economies. I express our gratitude to all the distinguished speakers and panellists who will be addressing us in the course of the Summit.

I also take this opportunity to reiterate our appreciation to all our sponsors, partners and friends who have made this event possible. I am pleased to inform that Kenya has now fully liberalised its economy by removing all obstacles that previously hampered the free flow of trade and foreign private investment. These reforms have been painstakingly undertaken by the Kenyan government in order to create the necessary environment to attract foreign investment. Today, our economic fundamentals are strong, the outlook is positive and the market is friendly and profitable. Kenya is now a frontier economy and one of the fastest growing economies not only in the Eastern Africa region but also in Africa as a whole. The scale of rewarding opportunities in Kenya is enormous and the Government is fully committed to sustaining an environment hospitable to investment.
I assure South African companies participating in this Summit that they are all welcome to venture into the Kenyan market and benefit from the possibilities opening up in the country. Lucrative opportunities abound in diverse sectors from agribusiness, energy, and health to finance, tourism and infrastructure sectors. I therefore urge you to seize the opportunity of the 2nd Kenya Trade and Investment Summit to reach concrete commitments in order to gain a foothold in the country. I thank you all for having found it worthwhile to attend this Summit and wish you fruitful deliberations. Ambassador Amina Mohamed Cabinet Secretary – Foreign Affairs

KENYA IN A
NUTSHELL Information courtesy of ECIC Kenya Country Focus publication
W
ith a GDP of US$60.9 billion and a population of 46 million, Kenya is considered to be the largest and the most advanced economy in East Africa. The country’s economic reform programme has positioned the economy on a more stable path, with strong growth prospects buoyed by an emerging middle class and rising Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
Kenya has maintained a diversified economy in which the private sector has always played a strong role. While the services sector is the largest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contributor, accounting for over 50 percent of economic activity, the agricultural sector is still the mainstay of the economy – contributing about 30 percent of GDP. Manufacturing and real estate’s contribution to GDP has also been increasing significantly over recent years. To sustain economic growth and move into a higher growth and development path, the
Kenyan Government has formulated a long-term development blueprint for the country – Kenya Vision 2030. The motivation for the Vision is to have a development strategy that answers to the strategy that answers to the aspirations for a prosperous society by transforming Kenya into a newly-industrialising, middle income country providing a high quality of life to all its citizens in a clean and secure environment by the year 2030. Kenya Vision 2030 is anchored on three key pillars. Economic; Social; and Political Governance. The objective of the economic pillar is to achieve an economic growth rate of 10% per annum and sustaining the same till 2030. This growth target will be achieved through implementation of several flagship projects in six (6) priority sectors namely tourism, agriculture, wholesale and retail trade, manufacturing, Business Process Outsourcing (BP0) and financial services. The social pillar seeks to create “a
just, cohesive and equitable social development in a clean and secure environment”. It, therefore, presents comprehensive social interventions aimed at improving the quality of life. Finally, the political pillar objective is to have “an issue-based , people-centred, resultoriented and accountable democratic system”. Kenya’s membership of regional economic communities, coupled with its strategic geographic position, make the country the gateway to the East African Community (EAC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) regional markets. MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT AND POLICY The agricultural sector accounted for 29.5 percent of GDP in 2015. Kenya’s agricultural sector holds a salient role as provider of
19
livelihoods to a large proportion of the population, while cash crops are significant foreign currency earners. More specifically, tea, coffee and horticulture together account for a substantial part of total exports, and the agricultural sector remains the country’s largest employer.
The short to medium term positive growth outlook is based on the assumption of increased rainfall for agriculture production, continued low international oil prices, stable Kenyan shilling and improved security situation.
It also aims at enhancing the regional and international trade strategy to grow and diversity exports in order to improve the balance payments position and ensure exchange rate stability.
FISCAL POLICY
Economic production is dominated by the services sector in Kenya, led by the financial intermediation sector which accounts for 15.8 percent to GDP. The country also boasts a well-developed retail sector, a relatively sophisticated and growing telecommunications sector, and a developed tourism sector.
Kenyan authorities remain committed to preserving fiscal sustainability by maintaining debt at sustainable levels and attaining the East Africa Monetary convergence criteria of fiscal deficit in the medium term. In this regard, on the revenue side, various tax policy and tax administrative measures are being implemented to enhance mobilization of domestic resources.
The MTP ll will sustain the physical infrastructure to ensure that it can support a rapidly growing economy. An important aspect of Kenya’s economic policy is the development of the country’s infrastructure, is the development of the country’s infrastructure, particularly transport and energy networks, which also has a regional integration dimension. Priority will also be given to improving the efficiency of the ports and implementation of the single window clearance system. The plan also targets at increasing installed capacity for electricity generation by 5 538 megawatts in 2017.

RECENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Kenya’s GDP growth rate in the recent years was moderate, although remaining below the average of East African countries, it has been higher than the average growth for Sub – Saharan Africa. GDP growth amounted to 5.7 percent and 5.3 percent in 2013 and 2014 respectively. The subdued performance in 2014 was attributable to unfavorable weather conditions in some parts of the country. While the 2015 and 2016 estimation and projection shows economic growth expansion and projection shows economic growth expansion of 5.4 percent and 5.7 percent, respectively. Growth is expected to be driven by an increase in private consumption and a rapid growth in capital investment. Strong growth is furthermore expected to be boosted by regional integration and key transport projects. The short term outlook is positive, with the projected GDP growth around 6 -6.5 percent over the next 3 years, mainly driven by higher private sector investments and increased exports.
Kenya Vision 2030 is the country’s developmental programme covering the period of 2008 – 2030. Its objective is to help transform Kenya into a newly industrialising middle income country providing a high quality of life to all its citizens by 2030. The Kenya vision 2030 is implemented in successive 5-year medium term plans (MTP). The current medium term plan (MTP ll), which is the second phase, covers the period of 2012 – 2017 in order to deliver accelerated and inclusive economic growth. The MTP ll aims at sustained growth in agriculture, manufacturing and service sectors in order to achieve an overall annual GDP growth of 10 percent by 2017. The plan aims to increase local savings, remittances from the Kenyan diaspora and foreign direct investment in all the sectors.
DEBT POLICY Kenya’s current debt management strategy is contained under the 2015 Medium term debt strategy. The strategy seeks to balance costs and risks of public debt which take into account central government financing needs. The strategy incorporates initiatives to develop the domestic debt market, seek new funding sources, support macroeconomic stability and achieve debt sustainability. It envisages a reduced uptake of domestic debt than in the previous years to meet the central government financing requirements. The strategy emphasizes that financing requirements. The strategy emphasizes that financing on non-concessional window will be limited to projects with high expected risk adjusted rates of return including critical infrastructure that
would otherwise not be undertaken due to lack of concessional financing. The strategy also identifies managing the refinancing risk as a priority. Regarding external borrowing the government prefers concessional external financing while maintaining a limited window on borrowing on commercial terms to minimize cost and refinancing risks. A cautious approach is adopted in the issuance of the government loan guarantees to minimize the level of contingent liabilities. The IMF indicated that the debt remains low while the overall debt dynamics continue to be sustainable. All indicators of public and publicly guaranteed external debt remain below the debt burden thresholds.

Economic Environment Private sector-led economic growth has since the early 2000s, been Kenya’s Priority. The Government's business-friendly stance has rolled over into Vision 2030, which sets development benchmarks for a number of priority sectors. This has been complemented by

the integration of the EAC and the establishment in 2005 of a customs union and a common market (2010). Kenya is a member of COMESA with 19 countries, and 14 of which are in a Free Trade Area (FTA). Three regional economic blocks i.e EAC, COMESA and SADC with a combined population of over 600 million people are currently developing a joint framework and roadmap towards a Free Trade Area by 2015. Kenya has seen an upward trend in economic development to a record of 5% as at December 2010 with prospects looking up due to extensive economic reforms, a new constitution, and fundamental reforms in the three arms of government( executive, legislature and the judiciary). The main sectors contributing to economic growth are building and construction, infrastructure development, manufacturing, transport and services, and tourism paricularly from emerging markets; agriculture, and wholesale and retail.
Operating Risk While the country enjoys several advantages such as its strategic location, good economic performance across all sectors a strong demography with an emergence of a new middle class. The country faces certain challenges especially in food security due to its dependence in rain fed agriculture. There are also concerns and uncertainity over political stability and implementation of key economic reforms following the promulgation of a new constitution in 2011. Other issues revolve around governance and infrastructure. This however is mitigated by a strong political and social will to implement changes. Others particulary agriculture and food sufficiency can easily be turned into profitable opportunities for food production through irrigation.

The Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Limited (KETRACO) was incorporated in December 2008 under the Company's Act, Cap 486 as a state corporation wholly (100%) owned by the Government of Kenya. The Company is also regulated under the Energy Act, 2006 and it is one of the corporations under the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum. The Company’s mandate is to plan, design, construct, own, operate and maintain high voltage (132kV and above) electricity transmission grid and regional power interconnectors. VISION: “to be a world-class electricity transmission company and the leading interconnector in Africa” MISSION: “to provide reliable, efficient and effective electricity transmission and promote power trade for sustainable socio-economic development” By constructing new power transmission lines and interconnectors, KETRACO aims at increasing national electricity access by expanding the transmission network, strengthening the national grid by improving quality and reliability of electricity supply, reducing transmission losses and evacuating all the generated power. This will also protect electricity consumers from high electricity retail tariffs since the capital cost of the transmission infrastructure will be financed by the Government. The transmission network expansion will provide electricity to areas not currently supplied from the national grid and at the same time provide links with neighbouring countries in order to facilitate regional power trade and access to cheap power from neighbouring countries. Since its establishment, KETRACO has achieved key milestones in the Kenya electricity supply industry. The Company has successfully completed several high voltage electricity transmission lines totalling about 1,100km and has started construction of various key transmission lines. Currently the Company is implementing a number of high priority projects totalling about 5,000 km of transmission lines of different voltage levels expected to be completed in the next 3-4 years, three of which are regional power interconnectors. Over the same period, the Company’s asset base has increased from Ksh 9 Billion in 2009/2010 to Ksh 105 Billion in 2015/2016. During the next five years, KETRACO will construct approximately 7,000km of high voltage transmission lines and associated substations. Further, the Company will also undertake operations and maintenance, power system management and control and power market operations. KETRACO has a bright and promising future due to the projected economic growth under Kenya Vision 2030, increasing power demand and investment growth that needs requisite transmission infrastructure and projected power generation expansion that will require evacuation. In addition, the on-going economic integration coupled with growth of the regional power trade in Africa will enhance realization of the Company’s objectives and promoting Kenya’s development agenda. The Company is expected to play a very key and game-changing role in enhancing power evacuation, supply, exchange and management both in the country and in the African region.

Kenya Electricity Generating Company Limited (KenGen) is the leading power producer in the country, having been incorporated in 1954 under the Companies Act of the Laws of Kenya as Kenya Power Company (KPC). The Company was formed with the initial mandate of constructing electricity transmission lines between Nairobi and Tororo in Uganda for importation of power from the Owen Falls hydroelectric plant and later management of all local generation resources. East Africa Power & Lighting Company (EAP&L) was then contracted by the shareholders of KPC to manage the company on their behalf. EAP&L later changed to Kenya Power & Lighting Company (KPLC) in 1983. Following the energy sector reforms in 1996, the management of KPC was formally separated from Kenya Power and renamed KenGen in January 1997. In 2006, KenGen was listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange after the Government of Kenya sold 30% of its stake in the Company through a very successful Initial Public Offer (IPO). KenGen continued its responsibility of electricity generation while Kenya Power & Lighting Company (KPLC) was left with distribution and transmission responsibility. During the same year, the Electricity Regulatory Board (ERB) an electricity regulator was established under the 1997 Electric Power Act. It later changed to Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to include the fuel subsector. As a result of sectoral reforms of 1996, the management of KPC was formally separated from KPLC. KenGen at its launch took charge of al publicly owned power generating plants. The Company is propelled by the Good-to-Great (G2G) Transformation Strategy of moving from a “Good Company” to a “Great Company” through the creation of sustainable value from “One Generation” to the “Next Generation”. As a result, the Company is able to efficiently generate competitively priced electric energy using skilled and motivated human resource and state-of-the-art technology in line with the core values of professionalism, integrity, safety culture and team spirit. KenGen owns thirty-two (32) power generating plants with a combined installed capacity of 1,632.2 MW from generation modes comprising hydro, thermal, and geothermal and wind technologies. KenGen operates in a liberalised power generation environment and sells all electric power generated in bulk to Kenya Power, who then distributes it to consumers. As at 25th January 2016, the Company had a work force of 2,407 staff with a wealth of experience in various disciplines. This workforce is necessary as the Company seeks to maintain leadership in the electric energy sub-sector in Kenya and Eastern Africa Region. To ensure business success, the Company efficiently generates competitively priced electric energy using state of the art technology, skilled and motivated human resource. This success is anchored on engrained core values of professionalism, integrity, safety culture and team spirit. The Company is further propelled by the Good-toGreat (G2G) transformation strategy of moving from a “Good Company” to a “Great Company” through the creation of sustainable value from “One Generation” to the “Next Generation”. Under this strategic direction, KenGen has entered a phase of scaling up geothermal development which is evident in the Company’s investment and achievements during this fiscal year.

Kenya is the largest and the most advanced economy in East and Central Africa; with strong growth prospects supported by an emerging, urban middle class with an increasing appetite for high value goods and services. Kenya is the dominant economy in the East Africa Community, contributing to more than 40% to the region’s GDP. Kenya is likely to be deemed the fourth largest economy in Africa upon the completion of a review of its national economic data, which will enable the country achieve its “Vision 2030” development objective to become a middle-income country well before the 2030 target. Kenya’s investment climate is the strongest in the EAC, with FDI flowing in from emerging and developed markets and a high volume of multinationals with regional and continent-wide headquarters in the country . Kenya’s geographical location makes the country ideal for strategic partnerships aimed at improving regional and global market share. Regional connectivity Kenyan
infrastructure is the gateway to the vibrant East and Central Africa region and access to the 138 million population i.e. Mombasa ports, KE-UG railway. Jomo Kenyatta International Airport functions as an effective air hub between Africa, Europe and Asia. Empowered by a new constitution and administration, the national and county governments are approaching the private sector as a central partner in the development and growth of the Kenyan economy. Kenya’s infrastructure landscape is also undergoing significant transformation as evidenced by commitment of over USD20 billion towards infrastructure development through public private partnerships. Kenya is also perfectly positioned to unleash Africa’s power generation capacity through its focus on green and cost effective sources of energy, set to contribute to a 5000MW increase in the national power grid.
Kenya’s private sector is very substantial including a number of foreign investors and is touted as one of the most resilient in the world. Key players in voicing private-sector concerns include: Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA), Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE) and the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM). Kenya prides itself in its large pool of highly educated, skilled and sought after work force in Africa trained from within the country and in institutions round the world. It is estimated that over 55% of the Kenyan population is aged between 15 and 64. This means therefore that majority of the population is active and able to provide labour.
