| business opportunities in kenya: 50 Years of Central Banking in Kenya Patrick Njoroge, Victor Murinde, 2021 This book documents important milestones in the epic journey traversed by the Central Bank of Kenya over the last 50 years, putting into perspective the evolution of central banking globally and within the East African region, and contemplating future prospects and challenges. The book is timely, mainly because the global financial landscape has shifted. Central bankers have expanded their mandates, beyond the singular focus on inflation and consider economic growth as their other important objective. Financial crises have continued to disrupt the functioning of financial institutions and markets, the most devastating episodes being the global financial crisis, which broke out in 2008 and from which the global financial system has not fully recovered, and the unprecedented challenges posed by the global coronavirus pandemic. Bank regulation has moved from Basel I, to Basel II, and somehow migrated to Basel III, although some countries are still at the cross-roads. The book originated from the wide ranging discussions on central banking, from a symposium to celebrate the 50 year anniversary on 13 September 2016 in Nairobi. The participants at the symposium included current and former central bank governors from Kenya and the Eastern Africa region, high level officials from multilateral financial institutions, policy makers, bank executives, civil society actors, researchers and students. The book is an invaluable resource for policy makers, practitioners and researchers, on how monetary policy and financial practices in vogue today in Kenya have evolved through time and worked very well, but also about some pitfalls-- |

| business opportunities in kenya: De Gruyter Handbook of Women Entrepreneurs in Emerging Economies Helle Neergaard, Maribel Guerrero, Breda Kenny, 2024-12-02 Whilst women-owned businesses have a significant positive impact on poverty reduction and social exclusion, we know far too little about women’s entrepreneurship in an emerging economy context. This handbook aims to fill that void by giving voice to women entrepreneurs who are far too often overlooked or even invisible. The chapters offer varied perspectives on the challenges that women entrepreneurs in emerging markets experience, foremost among these the lack of resources, education, and access to finance, as well as gender-related inequalities, and the impact of social expectations. The handbook portrays how, despite these challenges, women use creative and work-around strategies to access resources, build networks and grow their businesses. De Gruyter Handbook of Women Entrepreneurs in Emerging Economies brings together contributions from leading experts in the field and is a must-read for academic scholars and postgraduate students interested in gender and entrepreneurship diversity. |

| business opportunities in kenya: Agricultural finance and the youth: prospects for financial inclusion in Kenya Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations , 2020-12-13 The aim of this publication is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the current state of financial inclusion among the Kenyan youth, especially those residing in rural and financially underserved areas. In particular, the study seeks to illustrate the clear linkage between the substantial financial access gap faced nowadays by the Kenyan youth and their inability to pursue high value-added entrepreneurial opportunities, chiefly in the agribusiness sector. The study sets out to analyze the core constraints and opportunities associated with the provision of tailored financial services to young Kenyans (especially first-time entrepreneurs), while showcasing the essential role that key supporting actors (such as the government, international development institutions, NGOs, foundations and many others) can play in fostering the provision and uptake of such services. |

| business opportunities in kenya: Entrepreneurial Drive and Performance in an Industry Ecosystem Simon Kamuri, 2022-11-29 This book will further knowledge and invite the exchange of ideas in academia, policy and practice of entrepreneurship from an ecosystem perspective. It spotlights an increasingly important perspective of understanding and developing individual entrepreneurship that can impact businesses, industries, economies and societies. It uniquely examines the link between individual entrepreneurship and the competitive performance of actors in an industry, using Kenya’s leather industry as an illustrative case. The book provides conceptual models of entrepreneurial drive as a valid construct that should guide understanding and interventions for developing entrepreneurship in academia, practice and policy. Thus, it acknowledges the role of individuals, their entrepreneurial abilities, the diverse roles they play in an industry and the resultant potential in innovation and broad-based performance outcomes. Coming at a time where entrepreneurship and innovation attention are centred on knowledge-based industries, this book uses the case of a primary or factor-driven industry to re-focus attention on an area of economic advantage that is typical of African countries. |
