Actually, Kenya's growth prospects are on its human resource which is the country's biggest foreign exchange earner. Besides outsourcing which you covered in barely 30 seconds, the country has a rapidly growing diaspora that contributes at least 3% to its GDP. Another thing is that Kenya's companies are heavily investing in the region more than any other East African country. Alongside joint infrastructure projects with other EA countries, the increased integration could dramatically improve the country's economy. Informative video though.
Wow! I watched this immediately it was posted (from Nairobi). You've well captured the diverse economy of Kenya. Great stock footage by the way. This being the longest video makes me like this channel even more👌
This is a very well done video. Your stock footage is excellent. Your information is 98% accurate. Bravo Kenya has the potential to be a great power house .
Great to hear about the plans to connect Kenya, Uganda & South Sudan by rail. Egypt & Sudan also are currently working on plans for a rail connection between the two countries. In the future, it will be great to have a complete rail connection between Mombasa on the Indian ocean to Alexandria on the Mediterranean
Wonderful video Altsimplified. Thank you for sharing about Kenya which is doing well economically despite having no mineral resources or fertile soil for farming.
Kenya is on the right growth trajectory...... Increasing manufacturing Opening up arts,creative and film industry Continue efforts to build robust foreign policy And bridging the inequality gap
Three things that set Kenya back are : Corruption, Corruption and Corruption. Tribalism is not that much of an issue any longer. Sadly, however, successive generations have been infected by the corruption disease . And the beat goes on……
And the tribalism still stems from corruption....politicians stoking the fires during the election, though you are right by saying it's at a low compared to before
Many African countries suffer from the two issues, but Kenyans tend to shout the most about theirs. You'd think it is unique to Kenya. I have no problem people asking for better, but self damage is a serious disease.
Another major problem kenyan continue electing corrupt leaders, due to tribalism they prefer one of there own in higher offices even if they are told a thousand time that man or woman is corrupt and a thief even they are shown evidence but kenyan close there eyes and ears and elect corrupt leaders who in turn steal from the country.
Great video A major problem is corruption which will lead the country to eventually walking into the middle income debt trap for decades, especially if they are in debt to China at the same time.

Julius Nyerere came out of power 37 years ago , Tanzania is the tenth largest economy in Africa right now . what Dr Nyerere built in Tanzania is national cohesion , there are 120 tribes in Tanzania how do you bring these people together ? ,it is through common language (Kiswahili) and what he preached Afrikan brotherhood , tribalism is not what you find in Tanzania and that is a good foundation.

DO NOT PAY YOURSELF FIRST. THAT'S THE WORST BUDGET ADVICE I'VE EVER HEARD. IT UNDERMINES THE CURRENT FINANCIAL REALITY OF THE LOW AND MIDDLE CLASS. BILLS, FIRST, SAVE AFTER.
The "pay yourself first" strategy involves making a budget of wants and needs. Once you budget your needs, you know how much money you can pay yourself first before spending on wants. Pay yourself first, and pay bills when they are due...
I know what the strategy is. Learned about it back in 2014 while taking an economics and finance class. Also, now that it was first created in the early 1920s when we were living in a very different economic state. That strategy should not apply to people where we are currently. I agree with everything else you said though and think this was great content to share. 🙏

Thanks. People do not focus on Kenya enough and they ignore its potential, while the country could easily outsmart every country on the continent in the coming decades. People are typically drawn to Rwanda, Ethiopia, South Africa, and Nigeria when Kenya is where the money's at.
@@mwanikimwaniki6801 So you think South Africa is just full of homicidal people? Can you get any more arrogant? Just say you hate South Africa for no reason and leave man.
The lamu port is fully government-financed, Kenya is not seeking to be a middle-income country but it's a lower-middle-income country. Before the post-election violence of 2008, the country's GDP growth was at 7.2%, it was among the fastest-growing economies in the world. I believe, we have great potential in increasing our manufacturing level. Income inequality is a monster that the current regime can't slay because it will be like someone trying to cut his own hand. But overall, Kenya has made great development in road infrastructure, energy and we are witnessing more and more Kenyan companies move to invest regionally.
The idea to increase manufacturing sectors' contribution to GDP is a challenge. India has Make in India scheme to improve productivity locally. As for Kenya, if it's natural resources are less compared to Niger, Ethiopia etc., importing raw materials and producing finished goods need a good comparison if cost efficiency with other countries. Arguably technology is an answer. Still Kenya needs lithium, iridium etc., to make high quality products to compete with high income countries and China. Focus on small scale industries and clusters to produce consumer goods. That way consumption can be matched with production. Slowly exports can be encouraged. Improve product and service quality. Include IT. Less of corruption and ease of going business can encourage foreign investment. Local employment with increase in farm income by modernizing agricultur is a must. Women labor has to be utilized by farming women entrepreneuriall groups and banking facilities can increase GDP.
I think that's why Uhuru has pushed for the inclusion of DRC into the EA block if you know you know. Kenyans leaders knows for Kenya to be a power house they need to be playing big politics Kenya big banks are operating in DRC then the army have been sent to DRC to maintain peace but at the end of the day Kenya knows what it wants its the lithium that is my point of view
Development Economics 101 from forever, which is not followed by most countries or printed by developed ones: Industry should focus on low value added areas for export. This is how all countries move up the value chain and industrialize. A lower exchange rate is also key to making the country competitive in terms of exports so it can attract industry. Evidence: Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, China.
Kenya has very good Safari. The electric infrastructure is good. Uganda has very good electric infrastructure Too. Actually, Uganda is exporting electricity to Kenya. Both are on top for electRic iNfrastructure. Ivory coast is at the top for electric infrastructure as well.
I would like to see this video again in 2026. And see what has been going on in a bigger picture. Small progress each quarter seems to be holding well, even with few internal and more international pressures.
In Kenya we need to tackle corruption,reduce reliance on foreign debt and establishing a sovereign fund,funded by a percentage of profits from state entities, a 5% of the excise duty due to having high internet/mobile penetration and taxing the rich in addition capital gain where government infrastructure are done/carried out(speculative price occurs).I believe this fund can be use for development ONLY namely infrastructure,health and education.
@njungahehu...thanks for your relevant points...I have just been watching the video on Norway's wealth fund....that's the best way to go ..but only after slaying the dragon of corruption and looting!
Tackling corruption remains the big challenge, but still great strides have been made especially regional integration which has boosted trade and growth in IT and our service industry. The development of infrastructure is also a game changer, transforming the urban set up in the country, and with sustained growth, we'll achieve a lot. The biggest catalyst though, is our devolved system of government which has channelled a lot of resources to most citizens and in the next 10 years, a different Kenya will emerge.

I am Kenyan and I know that Ethiopian economy has surpassed the Kenyan one. Let's rely on the world bank's facts. But Kenya has a greater potential of growth considering it's connectedness to several other countries.
Don't forget Ethiopia has two or three times compared to to our population and this affects the bottom line per Capita income. An average Kenyan is three times better off than an Ethiopian in terms of quality life.
fun fact Kenya did become an independant country in 1960 as a multi ethnic nation within british made borders. But before that the british empire gave Jubaland province to somalia as it was a somali inhabited region. The somali ihabited NEP of kenya (modern day garissa, wajir and mandera counties) also wanted to join Somalia but got almost ethnic cleansed and forced to stay in Kenya. The region has now no major importance to kenya but one might say that kenya is a bit of modern day colonial empire.

Don't forget Ethiopia has two or three times compared to to our population and this affects the bottom line per Capita income. An average Kenyan is three times better off than an Ethiopian in terms of quality life.
Correction before I watch your video. Kenya is the 3rd Biggest Economy in Sub-Saharan Africa after South Africa. Thank you.
The part about the port of lamu was funded by the taxpayers money but built by a Chinese company
Kenya 🇰🇪 is a bigger economy than Ethiopia do your research well instead of uploading wrong information
Ethiopia is larger
@@ssavadia No it is not, maybe population wise.
fun fact Kenya did become an independant country in 1960 as a multi ethnic nation within british made borders. But before that the british empire gave Jubaland province to somalia as it was a somali inhabited region. The somali ihabited NEP of kenya (modern day garissa, wajir and mandera counties) also wanted to join Somalia but got almost ethnic cleansed and forced to stay in Kenya. The region has now no major importance to kenya but one might say that kenya is a bit of modern day colonial empire.
Do you understand the meaning of ethnic cleansing?
And every country in Africa is as a result of colonialisatioon not just Kenya
@@soupgod1448 Somalis think they were the only ones divided up. As shallow as it can get. All of Africa was divided up.
LOL
@@esem135 exactly bro
They always like to play the victim and they are the ones who discriminate against fellow 'bantu' Africans who they call jareers
They are anything but the victims
@@soupgod1448 actually the name jareer was never meant to be discriminatory. It means hard and it’s used for somalis or bantus who have a bit thicker afro. The word was made discriminatory by omanis who used it separate somali empires from the Swahili coast. And also I didn’t mean this to come out as oh am victim, but rather tell this person he forgot to put jubbaland with the rest of British East Africa
point of correction port of lamu has been funded by Kenyan government and the Chinese were only the contractors
Waiting for new vids

Is Ethiopia bigger in GDP than Kenya or the other way around?
Kenya’s GDP is the third largest in Sub-Saharan Africa behind Nigeria and South Africa. Ethiopia is not in the top 5.
