The 2020 CFSP is prepared against a background of anticipated upward growth of the Kenya’s economy .The domestic economy is projected to expand by above 6.1 percent over the medium term. This will be attributable to the envisaged stable macro environment, robust services sector and ongoing investments in the National Government strategic priorities under the “Big Four” Plan. On the local scene, increased mining activities, sugarcane production, tourism earnings and infrastructural development are expected to boost the economy.
