GDP Growth & Outlook
Joel Warutere, Investment Manager
Kenyan Economic Take-off

Economic growth accelerated in 2013 as macroeconomic conditions continued to improve.
Kenyas economy entered the third year of relative stability, with single-digit inflation and a
stabilized exchange rate.

We estimate that the economy grew by 4.8% in 2013 an improvement from the 4.6%
achieved in 2012. This is the highest growth rate since 2010.

That said the we still feel that the country has continued to perform below its potential, and
is capable of breaking the 7% GDP growth threshold in the next three years.

The Kenyan economy has the potential for a massive take off in terms of economic growth
in 2014 and we estimate a projected economic growth rate of 5.8%.

Kenyas overall macroeconomic conditions are favourable, growth is picking up, inflation
remains low, the fiscal deficit remains manageable and the exchange rate remains stable

Kenya opened the year 2014 from a strong economic position with inflationary pressures
subdued, underpinned by stable energy prices, moderation in food inflation, a stable
exchange rate, and supportive monetary.

Uganda and Tanzania continue to occupy the top spots as destination for Kenyan Exports..

The questions begs what will be the impact of the Turmoil in South Sudan and the continued
political stalemate in Egypt on Kenya in economic terms?

a) Sudans contribution albeit having grown in leaps and bounds in the recent years is
however not significant enough to impact the Kenyan economy. However if any the
largest impact would be felt on the services front and more specifically financial
services.

b) Egypts turmoil and its impact, having been running for a while, we feel that is
already factored in and managed so far. Any improvement on the political front and
by extension the economic resumption will only serve to enhance the performance
locally.

Inflation to Soar in 2014
Joel Warutere, Investment Manager
Inflation in 2013 remained modest underpinned by relatively stable energy prices and
moderation in food inflation, albeit expectation that prices would pick up in 2013.

Looking forward we expect that the cost of living will rise in the first half of 2014.

This will be driven by rising food prices, annual hike in cost of education and the continued
implementation of the VAT bill and last but not least the base effect especially since the
inflation levels in the first half of 2013 were low single digit.

Any rise in the cost of living normally impacts the lower income group, who are the majority
more intensely than any other class.

Since July 2013, there have been mild increases in inflation, as a result of two factors.
a) First the implementation of the Value-Added Tax (VAT) Act in September 2013, leading to
increases in prices of some essential food items.
b) Secondly, food prices have been increasing faster than other commodities, driving overall
inflation higher.

Looking further forward, key developments that may impact the trend inflation, will most
certainly be in the energy sector with the coming online of the Geothermal power plants Olkaria
I & IV in July 2014, that are expected to further reduce the cost of power.

Eurobond issuance and IMF support to play a key role in the Kenya Shilling movement

Currency The Kenya Shilling Performance
Joel Warutere, Investment Manager
One of the key driving factors in Kenyas economic resurgence has been the stability of
currency, the shilling has remained range bound over the last couple of years.

Kenya has also strengthened its external position substantially in the recent years,
accumulating international reserves to meet various target among them the IMF program
targets.

The current account which averaged more than 10% of GDP in 2011 and 2012, narrowed in
November 2013 to 8.5%, reflected in the lower import demand and higher export services.

Looking forward the Kenya Shilling outlook is as story of two halves with the shilling expected
to remain strong in the 1
st
Half of 2014 operating in the 85 86 range. While in the 2
nd
Half,
we expect the shilling to weaken up to the lows of 89 against the US dollar.

On a positive note the expected issue of the sovereign bond coupled in the hyped interest in
frontier markets from international investors are likely to provide a working buffer for Foreign
currency inflows and by extension stability in currency from improved external position.

The key risk to the Kenya Shilling stability, lies in the likelihood that the current account status
would deteriorate as soon as import demand picks up, which would more likely happen in the
2
nd
Half of 2014.

Financial Markets Review and Outlook
Nicholas Malaki, Senior Investment Manager
2013 witnessed a progressive reduction in interest rates over the year, extending a trend we
have seen over the past two years. The decline in rates was pronounced at the short-end of
the yield curve.

We attribute this to the monetary transmission mechanism continued to improve. We can
see clear market response to the movements in the CBR.

There does not seem to be any imminent internal shocks to the economy. Hence we would
expect to see a more accommodative monetary stance over the short-to-medium term.

And thus we expect to see further dips in interest rates especially at the short-end. This is
positive for bond investors as well as for credit expansion to support various sectors.

A stable interest environment saw a bit of activity in the corporate debt market with about 3
corporate bonds issued. We expect that over 2014, we could see more debt raising in the
market in the year.


Despite the lower rates, bonds investors made lower returns in 2013 when compared to
2012. We hope to see bond investors to benefit from lower rates in 1H 2014.

Stellar equity market performance for Kenya
Nicholas Malaki, Senior Investment Manager


Kenyas equity market had a stellar performance in 2013 gaining 43.7%. This was on the
back of positive sentiment, foreign portfolio flows and general improvement in global
liquidity that increased appetite for risk assets.

This compares quite well with other Sub-Saharan markets as well as Frontier markets


The rally in the market over the past two years has led to much higher valuations close to
where the market was before the sharp decline in 2011.

Valuations such as price to earnings have risen while dividend yield has declined

So is the market too expensive for investors at those valuation levels?


17
Is the market too expensive...?
On a stand alone basis, the market is a bit more expensive compared to a few years
back, but strong earnings could be supportive of these forward valuations

Price to Earnings Ratio (x) 15.38 9.84 12.06 14.3

Comparable Valuations
Nicholas Malaki


On a stand alone basis this would appear so than a year ago.

But when you take a step back and compare with other markets markets that attract a similar breed of
investors - the domestic equity market is fairly priced.

We are confident that growth in profitability and better global liquidity will support the market, place it in
a position to compete favorably with other markets.

One fact that cannot be ignored is that the flow of investment funds across the globe has increased.
Emerging and Frontier Markets continue to record substantial portfolio flows.

Therefore the domestic market can not be looked at it isolation, but rather on a relative basis. Trends in
these markets can indicate to us how our market is likely to fair on.

20
Is there support for equity markets into 2014?
Macro economic environment continues to remain supportive

Strong GDP Growth,
Manageable levels of inflation for the year
Lower interest rates
Stable currency

Earnings progression likely to be key support for equity market performance: some sectors
that are likely to do well

Banks, Construction, Media/Telecoms

External events also support attractiveness of Kenyan Equity market

Events in other Emerging and Frontier Markets.

Key risk factor Potential introduction of Capital Gains Tax


21
Is there support for equity markets in 2014%
Nicholas Malaki


From the fundamentals and the macro perspective, there is support. GDP growth is projected to remain
strong, inflation is tamed although there could be some upside risk; and the currency is not expected to
fall out of bed.

Earnings are likely to be the key driver of markets; with some sectors expected to do well. These include
Banks which could see accelerating loan growth as well as lower non-performing loans on account of
lower rates;

Construction that is projected to be supported by spending on infrastructure and growth in credit to
households, and

Media and telecom that should benefit from increased advertisement spend with that comes with a
better economic environment, this is in addition to lower commodity prices and stable currency that
should help , maintain margins.

Outside of the domestic scene, we see other events being supportive of the Kenya equity market. Key
emerging markets are undergoing structural reforms, and there is an election cycle across the
continent.
22
Contd .

This is not without the usual risks to the markets.

Perhaps the greatest risk we see for the market at the moment is the potential introduction is capital
gains tax would be a major drawback for the market.


Whereas this could add something to the exchequer, the potential fall out could be significant over an
extended period of time

Most immediate would be a possible reversal in portfolio flows in both public and private markets that
could erode, dilute or even reverse the potential flows that have been very supportive of various sectors
in the economy.

We could even see slowdown in the savings sector, which makes it a bit more difficult to be able to raise
long term capital from public markets.



23
Summary
GDP growth - expectations remain high with our forecast ranging 5.6% - 5.8 %

Inflation trend could change materially in 2H 2014 moving above 10%.

Exchange rate likely to be range bound between 85 89 to the US dollar

Interest rates Further decline in short-term rates over 1H 2014 should lead to increased
bank lending and more corporate debt issuance

Equity Markets Sustained momentum expected in the market barring any external
shocks. Likely to see further capital raising from the markets, including more M&A activity.

Earnings quality and growth likely to come into focus into 2014; valuations will need to be justified
Macro economic fundamentals turnout to be less favorable than expected
Local politics, and policies could start impacting on investor/business sentiment
Better than expected outlook for SA and Egypt could see rotation of Pan African portfolios from SSA to these markets.

Where to from here.is there support for equity markets into 2014?
Macro economic environment continues to remain supportive;
Strong GDP Growth
Manageable levels of Inflation for the year
Lower Yields
Stable Currency

Earnings progression likely to be key support for equity market performance: some sectors that are likely to do well
Banks accelerating credit growth into 2014 (improved confidence), lower non-performing loans should be
supportive of strong growth in the sector;
Construction - Increased infrastructure investment in the economy should increase sales for construction companies;
manageable inflation levels should help improve margins.
Media/Telecoms Better economic environment should increase marketing/advertisement spend by companies,
low commodity price and stable currency should help maintain margins.

External events also support attractiveness of Kenyan Equity markets
Emerging markets - still looking weak; Brazil , India and South Africa going to face elections in 2014; Investors will
watch these keenly; and structural reforms will be key;
Nigeria Economic outlook looking less appealing (2014 could become a pre-electioneering year);
CBN Governors term ends in June 2014, uncertainty could make Kenyan market look more favourable
However, weight in MSCI Frontier basket will mean allocations will increase both to Nigeria and Kenya
Egypt - Egypt equity market have rallied 56%; 2014 will be key for reforms draft constitution, parliamentary and
presidential elections until June 2014; Egypt will need to translate investor confidence into growth and deal with
unemployment.
