flag Kenya's president launches $340.6M bond for Nairobi stadium, amid economic concerns.

flag Kenyan President William Ruto has launched a bond to fund the construction of a 60,000-seater stadium in Nairobi, expected to cost about $340.6 million. flag The stadium, under construction by a Chinese company, is set for completion by the end of 2025 and will host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. flag Despite criticism from some MPs labeling the move "reckless," the bond reflects Kenya’s effort to finance large projects through domestic markets, reducing reliance on external borrowing and enhancing economic resilience. flag However, Moody's warns that Kenya's high debt costs may persist due to reliance on local borrowing to cover budget shortfalls.
