Chairman, of Budget and Appropriations Committee, National Assembly Ndindi Nyoro  stated that Kenya’s economy is experiencing consistent growth, with the GDP expanding by over 5.5% last year and expected to surpass 5.7% this year.

This growth positions Kenya at the 28th spot among the world’s fastest-growing economies. Nyoro highlighted the stability of the Kenyan shilling against the dollar, attributing it to sound monetary policies by the Kenya Kwanza government.

Despite market fluctuations, he expressed confidence in the shilling’s strength and its ability to overcome challenges.

Speaking at the GenAfrica’s Seventh Annual Investment Conference, Nyoro emphasized the profitability of investing in government bonds and fixed-income instruments due to guaranteed returns. However, he stressed the importance of diversifying investments beyond fixed income, anticipating a shift towards other opportunities in the capital and stock markets.

Nyoro acknowledged the cyclic nature of investments, emphasizing the need for innovation and planning to ensure economic stability.

He defended the government’s initiatives such as the housing levy and affordable housing projects, citing their potential for long-term development and job creation.
