Abstract:
Today, I will be reflecting on the Kenya-American alliance with a live event at 2pm on Zoom for our loyal readers, details below. As part of that alliance, a significant tectonic shift in global business affairs looms on the horizon next week.
The potential election of the century will take place in the United States. The anti-globalisation and anti-free trade, yet pro-Kenya, “America First” conservative positions of US President Donald Trump stands up against pro-globalisation and pro-free trade liberal stances of former Vice-President Joe Biden.
The winner of the election may impact Kenya-America economic integration that is projected to grow deeper with new agreements in the coming years. The United States’ current Sh243.5 billion relationship with Kenya comprises 2.8 per cent of Kenya’s economy with the US.
Trade Representative estimates that the two nations share Sh100+ billion in bilateral trade, fluctuating Sh50 to Sh100 billion of official development assistance, and Sh43.5 billion in American investment in Kenya.
