Rotich clears way for AfDB bond sale

Mr Gabriel Negatu, the AfDB regional director: “Investors will not be subject to tax.” FILE

Treasury secretary Henry Rotich has granted African Development Bank (AfDB) a special status that allows the continental lender to issue a corporate bond in Kenya as if it were a local public entity.

The status, granted by Mr Rotich through a legal notice, paves the way for AfDB to issue a Kenya shilling denominated bond to ease the bank’s lending to local companies.
