2021 Economic Outlook Forum
2021-02-11 05:00 - 06:30 (Africa/Nairobi)
A platform for business leaders to get a prognosis from key policy makers of the year ahead and gain critical insights that would support strategic business decision making. The forum also provides opportunity to broach salient issues impacting business and explore collaborative solutions with policy makers.

According to the World Bank, Kenya’s economy is projected to grow by 6.9% in 2021 (arguably the highest in Africa). This optimistic view is backed by the country’s strong macro fundamentals that the bank is tracking, some of which are captured in the recently released World Bank Kenya Economic Update.

Join us as we unpack and take a deep-dive into the World Bank’s unique perspective on the economic impacts, performance and imperatives for Kenya’s much needed economic recovery given the COVID-19 reality.

Key themes to be covered:

1) Kenya’s 2021 macro economic outlook (including a high-level E.A overview)
2) Key Economic Drivers, Risks and Scenarios (including alternative paths)
3) Policy priorities, Reform considerations, Gaps and realities
4) Micro-level economic data and perspectives

A Kenya - U.S. Free Trade Agreement
2020-10-08 10:00 - 11:30 (Africa/Nairobi)
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is a priority agenda for Kenya, matched with trade and investment opportunities across the entire health ecosystem. Ongoing efforts to develop a Kenya – U.S. Free Trade Agreement therefore raise the question:

Could a Kenya – U.S. Free Trade Agreement be the force multiplier that unlocks trade & investment in health and catalyzes the attainment of UHC?

Join the discussion, Thursday, October 8, 2020 at 3 p.m. – 4.30p.m. EAT / 8a.m. – 9:30a.m. EST on what the potential impact of a trade agreement such as the envisaged Kenya – U.S. FTA could have on the Health sector, providing perspectives on potential trade & investment opportunities, constraints/challenges, policy considerations as well as the overall impact that a trade agreement could have towards realization of Kenya’s UHC agenda.

Discussion Areas:

Health Investment – Investment models, PPPs.
Health Financing – Social insurance, direct payments, private insurance.
Health Value/Supply Chain – Pharma manufacturing, medical equipment, care provision.
Technology in Health – Health tech, Telehealth/Telemedicine, digitization, mobile apps.
Policy & Regulation.

A Kenya - U.S. Free Trade Agreement
2020-09-24 11:00 - 12:30 (Africa/Nairobi)
A robust discussion on the Digital Economy providing clarity on the potential opportunities and constraints; policy considerations and overall impact that a Kenya – U.S. Free Trade Agreement could have on digital trade and the overall ICT sector.

A Kenya - U.S. Free Trade Agreement
2020-08-27 10:00 - 11:30 (Africa/Nairobi)
A Kenya – U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is expected to benefit Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) with increased trade opportunities, increased investment, and partnership opportunities with both large and small U.S. companies. Increased investment and partnerships will provide transfer of knowledge, expertise and technology thereby enhancing the quality and competitiveness of goods and services, spurring growth.

International trade has been traditionally viewed as the preserve of large companies. However recent research suggests that there are great gains for SMEs by engaging in international trade and there is demonstrated importance in “learning by exporting”.

In order to foster greater participation by SMEs however, there needs to be concerted efforts to help them prepare for the opportunities that an FTA can bring.

Join us and our diverse, experienced panel on August 27, 2020 3-4.30 pm EAT / 8-9:30 am EST as we discuss:

Potential opportunities/benefits of an FTA for SMEs.
How SMEs can prepare themselves for international trade.
Possible policy interventions that can enable effective SME participation in the global marketplace.
