POLITICAL OUTLOOK<br />
Foiled Boko Haram Attack Augurs well for Risk<br />
Outlook<br />
The foiled Boko Haram attack in Bauchi State (January<br />
2016) sends a good gesture on the state of the<br />
country’s intelligence and preparedness to combat<br />
the insurgency that has claimed lives and occasioned<br />
displacement of persons. This comes as a welcome<br />
indicator of the country’s political risk which has been<br />
dented by recurrent attacks in the recent past.<br />
Multi-National Force: Will it deliver?<br />
A key point of focus going forward will be how the Multi-<br />
National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) co-ordinates efforts<br />
to combat the insurgency. The force incorporates an<br />
estimated 8,700 troops from Chad, Nigeria, Niger,<br />
Cameroon and Benin. We expect porous borders,<br />
which provide a channel for smuggling of arms, to<br />
remain a major challenge in arresting the menace. In<br />
2014, the Comptroller of Nigeria Immigration Service<br />
indicated there existed in excess of 1,400 illegal routes<br />
into the country against an approved 84 border control<br />
posts 1 . This creates a fragile point in the fight against<br />
Boko Haram.<br />
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK<br />
Central Bank likely to Devalue the Naira as Oil Price<br />
Tumble Worsens<br />
With oil prices deteriorating further (below the USD<br />
30/barrel mark in January 2016) and the country’s<br />
fiscal balance slipping further into the red, we foresee<br />
the Central Bank back-pedalling and devaluing the<br />
Naira between Q1, 2016 and the end of Q2, 2016.<br />
The recent deceleration of growth momentum leaves<br />
the economy hurtling towards near stagnation and<br />
this is likely to necessitate revision of the central<br />
bank’s stance on the currency with a view to boosting<br />
proceeds from exports in 2016. Further, the bank<br />
must be wary of rattling investor confidence as it did<br />
following unorthodox measures of supporting the<br />
Naira in 2015.<br />
Note: In September 2015, JP Morgan delisted Nigeria<br />
from its Local Currency Emerging Markets Bonds Index<br />
in view of foreign exchange restrictions adopted by the<br />
Central Bank.<br />
In November 2015, the Central Bank slashed its<br />
benchmark rate by 200.0 bps to 11.0%, at a time when<br />
inflation had breached the target ceiling of 9.0% by 40.0<br />
bps, suggesting the need to stimulate the economy is<br />
being accorded foremost consideration.<br />

Domestic Borrowing and Inflation Expectations Keep<br />
Yields on the Uptrend<br />
Yields reported a slight uptick between December<br />
2015 and January 2016 despite a rise in liquidity. This is<br />
likely to be driven by the surge in domestic borrowing<br />
in December 2015 that grew by 78.0% to USD 2.2<br />
Billion ─ the largest domestic borrowing since March<br />
2015 ahead of the general election.<br />

KENYA<br />
POLITICAL OUTLOOK<br />
Political Temperatures Rise ahead of 2017 Election<br />
The political scene is heating up ahead of the 2017<br />
general election as factions allied to the government<br />
and the opposition barnstorm the country in<br />
grassroots mobilization. This notwithstanding, we<br />
retain a favourable assessment of the near term risk<br />
outlook (the next six months) whilst adopting a more<br />
cautious position on the long-term view given the<br />
recurrent cases of inter-ethnic border clashes such as<br />
that in the Nandi-Kisumu border. Recurrence of such<br />
incidences threatens to undermine political stability<br />
ahead of the polls and will be a key pointer to look<br />
out for in the next one year. The National Electoral<br />
and Boundaries Commission is set to embark on<br />
voter registration ahead of the polls, an exercise we<br />
are confident will be accompanied by requisite civic<br />
education in a bid to mitigate lurking risks that have<br />
threatened stability in past election cycles.<br />
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT<br />
Energy and Roads Infrastructure to Dominate<br />
Development Agenda<br />
We expect Kenya to continue cementing its position<br />
as the regional commercial and industrial hub given<br />
investment plans that target largely the energy and<br />
transport sectors. This will be critically important<br />
for the country as neighbouring economies such<br />
as Ethiopia and Tanzania work towards improving<br />
competitiveness. A spot-check on the major projects<br />
pipeline for the next five years reveals that up to 48.6%<br />
of funding will be designated to energy and roads ─<br />
potentially presenting a major boost in view of the<br />
deficit (transport infrastructure and energy) that derail<br />
the economy’s investor attractiveness.<br />
Note: Some of the projects are the 300.0 Megawatts<br />
Lake Turkana wind power projects, the Lamu Port<br />
South Sudan Ethiopia Transport Corridor and the 120.0<br />
Megawatts Kipeto Power Project.<br />
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK<br />
Inflation likely to Rise through Q1 2016<br />
In line with our forecast, the Central Bank left<br />
monetary policy instruments (the benchmark rate<br />
and the Kenya Banks’ Reference Rate) unchanged in<br />
its first meeting of 2016. Despite inflation standing<br />
above the target ceiling by 50.0 bps (at 8.0%), the<br />
Central Bank is likely to have taken cognizance of the<br />
new Excise Duty Act that took effect in December<br />
2015 as a key driver of the ceiling breach. We expect<br />
inflation to continue inching north, closer to the 9.0%<br />
- 10.0% band, through Q1 2016 on the back of rising<br />
food prices attributed to the El Nino rains experienced<br />
in Q4 2015 and early January 2016.<br />
DEBT <strong>MARKET</strong> <strong>UPDATE</strong><br />
The yield curve remains inverted despite a discernible<br />
downtrend in the 91 Day and 364 Day papers’ between<br />
December 2015 and January 2016. We note that<br />
liquidity has been comparatively high in the market<br />
supported by government payments, redemption of<br />
government securities and Open Market Operation<br />
Maturities. In the week to January 22nd, 2016,<br />
the Central Bank is reported to have injected USD<br />
94.8 Million in liquidity into the market, keeping<br />
the interbank rate in single digits. The yield curve<br />
also suggests there is likely to be rising appetite for<br />
medium to long-term debt for the remaining quarters<br />
of financial year 2015/16.<br />

TANZANIA<br />
POLITICAL OUTLOOK<br />
Zanzibar Election Re-run Slated for March 2016<br />
Zanzibar is set to carry out a re-run of presidential<br />
elections on March 20th, 2016 after the results of<br />
the first vote were nullified following allegations<br />
of irregularities. The announcement comes amid<br />
calls for boycott of the election by the opposition,<br />
a development that threatens to deepen the<br />
political stand-off while increasing uncertainty on<br />
Tanzania’s near-term political and economic outlook.<br />
Nonetheless, the new administration has managed<br />
to contain unrest in Zanzibar, boding well for investor<br />
perception. The election outcome is still crucial for<br />
determining Tanzania’s outlook given that the island’s<br />
quest for greater autonomy has been a teething issue<br />
for the union.<br />
Independent USA foreign aid agency, Millennium<br />
Challenge Corporation, is reported to have withheld<br />
funding disbursement to Tanzania on account of the<br />
political stalemate and concerns over infringement of<br />
basic human rights in view of the Cyber Crime Law<br />
(2015).<br />
Opposition to Re-Open Referendum Talks<br />
Tanzania’s main opposition party, Chadema, is set<br />
to re-open the referendum debate as it focuses<br />
on constitutional reforms as its main post-election<br />
agenda. The stalemate in Zanzibar is partly attributed<br />
to the stalled constitutional reforms, with fears that<br />
the island may secede if the opposition-favoured<br />
three-tier government proposal is successful.<br />
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT<br />
Controversial Labour Laws Threaten Tanzania’s<br />
Business Environment<br />
We downgrade our view of the business climate<br />
informed by unfavourable labour laws that have<br />
elicited concern from investors. The Non-Citizen<br />
(Employment) Regulations 2015 have been the major<br />
bone of contention, as the government seeks to<br />
tighten foreign worker policies, a protectionist move<br />
that threatens Tanzania’s relations with its trading<br />
partners, particularly, in the East Africa Community<br />
(EAC). Tanzania trails peers in key areas such as<br />
adult literacy and this regulation threatens to derail<br />
the economy’s ability to tap into better skill from<br />
neighbouring countries.<br />
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK<br />
The Economy Accelerates in Q3 2015<br />
Available data indicates Q3 2015 economic growth<br />
(6.3%) stood marginally above the historical Q3<br />
average of 6.2% (2006 <strong>–</strong> 2015), suggesting strong<br />
resilience by the economy in view of the elevated<br />
political risk at the time. This sets a good foundation<br />
for further acceleration in the first half of 2016<br />
especially with monetary headwinds subsiding and<br />
the new government engaging aggressive fiscal<br />
consolidation efforts. Key engines of growth have<br />
been the construction, mining and transport sectors<br />
and we expect this to be sustained through the first<br />
half of 2016.<br />
DEBT <strong>MARKET</strong> <strong>UPDATE</strong><br />
There was marginal change in liquidity between<br />
December 2015 and January 2016 and this trend was<br />
reflected in minimal change in yields of short-term<br />
papers between the two months. Yields remain high,<br />
however, in what could be a reflection of investors’<br />
caution over the uptrend in inflation which rose to<br />
6.8% in December 2015, twenty bps higher than the<br />
preceding month.<br />

ZAMBIA<br />
POLITICAL OUTLOOK<br />
General Election set for August 2016<br />
The presidential and parliamentary elections have<br />
been slated for August 11th, 2016 in what is widely<br />
expected to be a heated contest between the<br />
incumbent government and the main opposition<br />
party, United Party for National Development (UPND).<br />
In view of the narrow margin by which the ruling party<br />
won the last election (January 2015), 48.3% versus<br />
United Party for National Development’s 46.7%, the<br />
likelihood of coalitions across the political arena is<br />
imminent with the new constitution requiring the<br />
winner to clinch more than 50.0% of votes cast. The<br />
state of the economy prods us into caution over<br />
the near term political risk in view of tensions that<br />
rocked the country in the run-up to the last election.<br />
President Lungu’s directive to the Electricity Supply<br />
Corporation (ZESCO) to lower electricity tariffs on<br />
January 3rd, 2016 has been perceived by many as a<br />
charm offensive ahead of the elections especially at a<br />
time when the economy is grappling with an energy<br />
crisis. Ministry of Energy forecasts suggest the energy<br />
crisis is likely to prevail in the near term.<br />
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT<br />
Energy Crisis to Persist as Water Levels Decline in<br />
Major Reservoir<br />
The energy crisis could deteriorate following the decline<br />
of water levels at Kariba dam to 12.0% of capacity<br />
as at January 18th, 2016. This comes on the back of<br />
adverse weather conditions that have seen drought hit<br />
parts of the region. Households and investors in the<br />
mining sector are most vulnerable to the deteriorated<br />
conditions given their consumption of the country’s<br />
energy. World Bank estimates that firms in Zambia<br />
suffered losses to the tune of 5.0% of sales in 2013, a<br />
proportion that is likely to have escalated over the last<br />
one year in view of recurrent outage.<br />
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK<br />
Kwacha Holds Firm against the Greenback<br />
The Kwacha found a support level in the 11.1 <strong>–</strong> 11.3<br />
band of exchange to the greenback in January 2016,<br />
propping investor confidence on the near term outlook<br />
of the economy. Factors that have driven this resilience<br />
include tight monetary policy and relative weakening<br />
of the greenback that have reduced the volatility<br />
witnessed in the Kwacha’s exchange.<br />

Yields nudged upwards in the short and medium term<br />

This is a likely indication of high risk perception<br />
by investors in the short and medium term as the<br />
economy takes a beating from depressed commodity<br />
prices and the forthcoming general election. In<br />
the long-term, investor sentiments are likely more<br />
favourable banking on remedial policy measures<br />
to address the economic challenges. Inflation<br />
expectations have equally been significant in leading<br />
investors to demand higher yields in the short and<br />
medium term.<br />

POLITICAL OUTLOOK<br />
Key Stress Factors ahead of February 2016 Election<br />
We are cautiously sanguine over the country’s political<br />
risk outlook ahead of the February 18th, 2016 general<br />
election premised on a number of potential stress<br />
considerations:<br />
• There have been incidents suggestive of intimidation<br />
of the opposition by the state that could escalate<br />
tensions in the remaining weeks. In July 2015,<br />
opposition luminaries Kizza Besigye and Amama<br />
Mbabazi were arrested for organizing meetings<br />
without police permission<br />
• Growing disenfranchisement over the Public Order<br />
Management Act (2013) which has negated the<br />
freedom of association across the country<br />
• Concern over the integrity and fairness of the<br />
election has been a major issue shaping public<br />
dialogue and many will be keen to observe how this<br />
evolves<br />
Be that as it may, we are confident that the precedent<br />
set by Nigeria and Tanzania of largely peaceful electoral<br />
processes will be replicated in Uganda.<br />
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT<br />
Hiccup on Logistics as World Bank Suspends Funding<br />
The quest for enhanced connectivity through roads<br />
infrastructure has hit a snag following World Bank’s<br />
suspension of funding for the Transport Sector<br />
Development Project following concern over noncompliance<br />
by the National Roads Authority (UNRA).<br />
Available data indicates that at USD 190.0 Million,<br />
World Bank had committed to fund 95.6% of the<br />
undertaking and its withdrawal dims prospects. This<br />
is likely to evoke uncertainty amongst investors who<br />
have been banking on the roads infrastructure upgrade<br />
program to boost business.<br />
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK<br />
Fiscal Position to Deteriorate<br />
Uganda’s fiscal deficit is likely to deteriorate further<br />
away from the regional target ratio of 3.0% of GDP on<br />
the back of rising expenditure in view of ambitious<br />
infrastructure projects. Stellar performance in<br />
domestic revenue mobilization, however, sets a good<br />
precedent for the year underway and if sustained<br />
could see diminished pressure for domestic borrowing<br />
that crowds out the private sector.<br />

RWANDA<br />
POLITICAL OUTLOOK<br />
Courting New Allies<br />
President Paul Kagame’s January 2016 visit to the<br />
Middle East has been widely perceived as an indication<br />
that the government could be courting new allies in<br />
view of expression of dissatisafaction by a section<br />
of Western allies over the revision of term limits.<br />
In October 2015, Rwanda’s Foreign Minister held a<br />
meeting with his Russian counterpart with a view to<br />
enhancing bilateral relations. The United States and<br />
the European Union have termed the revision of term<br />
limits as undermining democracy and this could see<br />
relations with Rwanda deteriorate.<br />
In addition, Rwanda recently formed the Rwanda-<br />
Turkey Business Council, that is expected to enhance<br />
trade and economic ties between the two countries.<br />
As previously reported, foreign development<br />
assistance makes up 35.6% of budgetary funding,<br />
and the government of Rwanda is likely taking preemptive<br />
measures in view of a possible backlash from<br />
its western allies. The situation is reminiscent of the<br />
events around the 2012/13 donor aid shock where<br />
Rwanda turned to China to counter the effects of the<br />
donor aid cut. On the whole, we view the emerging ties<br />
as vital for Rwanda’s broadening of potential markets<br />
and heding against possible shocks in the near term.<br />
BUSINESS NEWS ENVIRONMENT<br />
Government Steps in to Streamline Ailing Textiles<br />
Industry<br />
Rwanda’s textile industry faced a tumultuous year<br />
witnessing continuous decline in growth owing to<br />
increased second hand imports into the market.<br />
Consequently, government plans to impose 100.0%<br />
duty on imported clothing by July 2016, in order to<br />
protect the domestic industry. In the same breath,<br />
Rwanda is mulling over a joint venture with Chinese<br />
investors to establish a garment factory in Kigali as<br />
it looks to develop its own textile industry and cut<br />
down importation of garments. Available statistics<br />
show that in 2015, Rwanda spent USD 100.0 Million,<br />
approximately 5.4% of Rwanda’s import bill, on<br />
imported wear products, out of which 80.0% were<br />
textile imports.<br />
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK<br />
Economy Defies 2015 Headwinds<br />
The economy weathered the turbulent macroeconomic<br />
environment in 2015 to register robust acceleration<br />
growing by 6.1% in Q3, 2015. Whereas this fell below<br />
the 8.0% registered in the same period in 2014, we<br />
note that 2014’s growth is likely to have been partly<br />
driven by the economy’s emergence from the previous<br />
year’s slump. Additionally, 2014 had, generally, better<br />
commodity prices that supported the economy’s<br />
growth. Rwanda’s resilience is partly driven by<br />
increased credit to the private sector which served<br />
to stimulate the economy. This has been enabled by<br />
the accommodative monetary policy stance which has<br />
been retained at 6.5% since June 2014.<br />
DEBT <strong>MARKET</strong> <strong>UPDATE</strong><br />
Yields Rise on Relative Liquidity Tightening<br />
Yields in the T-Bill market maintained an uptrend in<br />
the period under review despite subdued appetite<br />
for domestic debt by the government which saw<br />
government borrowing decrease by 520.0bps to USD<br />
60.6 Million, month-on-month. Inflation also declined<br />
to 4.5% in December, 2015 from 4.8% reported in the<br />
preceding month. The rise could have been driven<br />
by two factors. One, available data indicates that the<br />
interbank rate stands at 3.7% from 3.5% in November<br />
2015, suggesting relative tightening of liquidity. Two,<br />
investors could be pricing in political risk expectations<br />
in view of noise around the revision of term limits<br />
and a possible backlash from Western allies.<br />
