Kenya’s global connectedness rose by five places to 133 this year due to an increase in international flows of trade, capital, information and people.
This was boosted by the government’s investment’s on mega-infrastructural projects such as roads and rails. These include the Sh31 billion Thika Road, the Sh327 billion Standard Gauge Railway, the ongoing Sh59 billion Nairobi Expressway and Sh2.5 trillion Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (Lapsset) corridor project.
