Kenya Shipping Report Q1 2014 - a new market research report on companiesandmarkets.comStrong Fundamentals Lift 2014 GDP Growth To 6.1% While the violent attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi in September 2013 was a reminder of the potentially high political risk in the region, our outlook for the Kenyan economy remains very positive. That event aside, we are predicting that a combination of relative political stability, rising investment, and Kenya´s status as the commercial hub of a fast-growing region will underpin strong GDP growth. Analysts are now projecting 6.1% GDP growth in 2014 followed by 6.2% in 2015. In our view Kenya´s capital, Nairobi, and key port, Mombasa, remain well-placed as the commercial centre of an East African Community (EAC) enjoying a resource boom and 7%-plus annual growth rates.
At home, growth
will be led by strong household consumption (rising as more Kenyans join the ranks of the middle classes and despite continuing income inequalities), comparative price stability, and robust investment. Public spending will also rise, particularly since the introduction of reforms in 2010 which require the creation of a new level of government - 47 county-level administrations with a wide variety of responsibilities for agriculture, transport, and health services. Net exports will, for the moment, be something of a drag on Kenyan growth, although we note the beginnings of a move to diversify from raw or semi-processed agricultural goods in the direction of manufacturing, including automobile and motorcycle assembly.
