Kenya's two decades of growth reviewed. Big problems still ahead.
What happened
Kenya's economy grew steadily for two decades, reducing poverty and inequality. The World Bank says the country still faces major structural problems to keep this going.
Why it matters
This World Bank paper summarizes Kenya's economic growth and poverty reduction over the past two decades. It confirms the country saw steady growth and improved living standards. The paper identifies future 'structural challenges' but does not offer new data or specific policy recommendations to address them.
The signal
Watch for future World Bank reports that name the specific 'structural challenges' Kenya faces, and propose concrete actions to address them.
