What keeps me awake at night? Challenges Regulation/Over regulation Punitive taxation/adca Protectionist tendencies by governments Start-up/ running complexity Infrastructure Operational issues Escalating costs (energy, oil, RM) Security of supply chain (sustainability) Increasing competition Talent capability challenges Economic Recession USD/Shilling depreciation High consumer inflation Political environment Kenya elections in 2012 S Sudan oil sharing deal with North Al Shabaab terrorist attacks ICC trial for Kenya PEV 5
But there are also good tailwind opportunities GDP growth The World Bank predicts GDP growth of 5%+ in East Africa markets for 2012 and 2013 With world trade growth forecasted to be flat for the next five years, this is indeed a positive indicator Emerging middle class Increased FDI and Diaspora remittances The EAC should see higher FDI in the coming years as FDI inflows have increased by 53% to $1.72b in the last four years Diaspora remittances have increased from $ 25m per month in 2005 to $ 80m per month in Kenya Improved infrastructure Governments across the region are working together to better road and rail networks thereby boosting trade New sea/air ports are being developed as well as expanding the current facilities to world class status
Tailwind opportunities continued Regional integration EAC Regional Integration will lead to; Harmonization of taxes and standards Elimination of non-tariff barriers Seamless borders Reduced oil costs with Uganda going commercial Urbanization Currently under 25% of East Africans live in urban areas This compares to 50% globally, suggesting that Urbanisation (and subsequent increased consumerism) will be a key trend for East Africa Tatu city artistic impression 7
