Summary

This paper describes Kenya’s third review under the three-year arrangement under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) and request for modification of performance criteria. The Executive Board approved a three-year ECF arrangement for Kenya on January 31, 2011, which has been augmented on December 9, 2011 for a total of SDR 488.520 million. The authorities’ primary fiscal balance outcome was in line with the program and consistent with a decline in the government debt-to-GDP ratio. Implementation of structural benchmarks has overall proceeded as expected.
