Leading economists and experts around the world agree that the Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted economies and societies at a scale and pace not seen since World War II.

The World Bank expects the Kenyan economy to rebound to 6.9 per cent growth in 2021, the highest in Africa, and new polls indicate that the country is still considered one of Africa’s top investment destinations.
