On Monday, December 9, 2024, President William Ruto met with Nigel Clarke, the newly appointed IMF Deputy Managing Director, at the State House in Nairobi. Following the meeting, Ruto took to Twitter (X) to highlight the strengthening economic partnership between Kenya and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), emphasizing the IMF’s positive impact on Kenya’s economic recovery.

In his statement, President Ruto shared that Kenya’s economic situation is showing significant improvement, citing key indicators such as the country’s reduced debt burden and inflation, which has dropped to 2.7%, the lowest level in 17 years.

He also mentioned Kenya’s foreign exchange reserves, which reached a historic high of $9.5 billion. “In emerging from a difficult economic situation, Kenya has counted on the IMF and other partners,” Ruto stated, reflecting on the valuable support Kenya has received during challenging times.

Ruto also pointed to positive developments in agriculture, with Kenya’s staple foods, maize and sugar, now meeting national demand. This highlights the progress made in the agricultural sector, which plays a crucial role in the country’s overall economic recovery.
