UN Secretary-General Guterres has said the Covid-19 pandemic is the worst global crisis since the Second World War. Indeed, 2020 was an extremely difficult and unusual year for everyone around the world due to the pandemic. In 2020, people's way of life changed greatly, challenging economic development to an unprecedented extent.

In 2020, traditional industries struggled, and new business models such as teleworking, online education, e-commerce, and telemedicine developed disruptively. In 2020, the fight against the pandemic and economic recovery were the top priorities of every country, and Kenya set an example for Africa in both the fight against the pandemic and economic recovery. Kenya was one of the first African countries to adopt and implement a string of rigorous policies, and one of the few countries to have positive economic growth in 2020.
