President William Ruto addressed the state of the Kenyan economy, stating that after four years of reforms, the country had restored macroeconomic stability and investor confidence. He noted that foreign exchange reserves had been rebuilt to nearly $14 billion, providing about six months of import cover. Furthermore, the government unveiled over $2.9 billion in 20 investment deals across sectors like agriculture, ICT, and manufacturing, which are projected to create 63,000 jobs.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The administration attributes these successes to the long-term development agenda and the reforms undertaken since the government assumed office. Policy actions include introducing VAT refund mechanisms for export-led firms and establishing greater certainty within transfer pricing frameworks to enhance business predictability.

Kenya is leveraging its strategic position in East Africa and international forums, including the UNGA, to deepen bilateral ties and drive trade.
