10-Year Yield: 13.1% 

Kenya is facing high inflation, which reached 8.04% in August, versus 7.47% in July, as food and energy prices increased. The inflation rate is  higher than the government target of 7.5%. Kenya’s government projects an economic growth of 5.5% this year, having cut it from 5.9% earlier this month. The country is also facing a political crisis, as its incumbent president Uhuru Kenyatta won the general election on August 11, but a court has annulled the victory and a re-run of the election is scheduled for October 17.
