President William Ruto has announced Kenya’s pledge to inject $100 million (equivalent to KSh 13.2 billion) into key African financial institutions over the next three years. This commitment aims to bolster Kenya’s stake in the African Development Bank (AfDB), Afrexim Bank, and the Trade and Development Bank (TDB), signaling the nation’s dedication to regional development.
President Ruto emphasized the importance of African nations investing in these institutions to foster confidence and attract further investment. This strategic move is expected to enhance the AfDB’s lending capacity, facilitating crucial development projects across the continent.
In addition to the investment in these banks, Kenya has committed KSh 2.6 billion to the Africa Development Fund (ADF), underscoring its commitment to advancing regional growth initiatives.
These financial commitments come at a pivotal moment, following the AfDB’s remarkable financial performance in 2023, with earnings soaring to $1.73 billion (KSh 227.5 billion).
Kenya’s significant ownership stake in the AfDB and its active participation in the Trade and Development Bank (TDB) within the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa) highlight its pivotal role in shaping the continent’s financial landscape.
President Ruto’s proactive approach towards strengthening Kenya’s shareholding in these institutions aligns with the broader goal of unlocking Africa’s economic potential and creating opportunities for shared prosperity. Through strategic investments and collaborative initiatives, Kenya is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping Africa’s economic future.
