Kenyan growth, Ethiopian reforms, (another) cyclone in Moz.

The latest figures show that Kenya’s economy accelerated in 2018, but a worsening drought will cut growth this year. Elsewhere, a second cyclone is hitting Mozambique, dealing another blow to the country’s fragile economy. We published a new report on Ethiopia this week, arguing that the government must focus on building strong institutions, attracting private investment, and modernising agriculture. If the reform drive succeeds, Ethiopia could be one of the big EM growth stories of the 2020s and 2030s.
