The International Monetary Fund has, over the years, proven to be a reliable and constructive partner in Kenya’s journey of economic transformation. Its continued engagement has provided invaluable expertise in the management of our external debt and delivered critical technical assistance across key sectors of our economy. Through the dedicated support of our international partners, including the IMF, Kenya’s economy has recorded notable progress, rising from the eighth to the sixth-largest on the continent in just two years. We greatly appreciate this support and remain committed to deepening these partnerships as we pursue economic resilience, accelerated development, and shared prosperity for all Kenyans. In Washington, D.C., held productive discussions with IMF Managing Director @KGeorgieva on broadening avenues of collaboration to bolster our reform agenda and sustain our economic momentum. We have agreed to forge a forward-looking partnership, built on transparency, mutual understanding, and a shared commitment to sound economic governance.(William Samoei Ruto, PhD)
