“…These results are interpreted as a 1% increase in debts from development financial institutions will lead to a 39.58% increase in economic growth in the long run. The positive relationship and statistically significant relationship between debts from development financial institutions and GDP growth are consistent with a prior expectation and economic theory and this finding conforms with the findings by Kamau (2013) who analyzed debt from DFIs and economic growth in Kenya using a time series data for the period 1980 to 2010. The study employed a single equation model with real GDP growth rate as a function of debt among other factors.…”

This research study established the effect of debt on economic growth of East African region in view of an upsurge in the level of debts in many countries on the African continent. In order to achieve the research objectives, a methodology framework of panel autoregressive distributed-lag (Panel ARDL) was undertaken. The study answered the following research questions: What is the effect of multilateral institutions debts on economic growth in East African region? What is the effect of debts from development financial institutions on the economic growth of East African region? What is the effect of internal debts on the economic growth of East African region? For research purposes the study employed descriptive research design. Several econometrics methods: pooled mean group, mean group, dynamic fixed effects and also allow for common correlated effects. The study focused on East African region and relied on secondary data obtained from the World Bank website, ADI and WDI website. A checklist developed based on the research questions of the study was used to collect data on the values of the variables in the corresponding period under study for each country under consideration. The time series data covered 2000-2020. The data was organized through excel and later imported to E-views 12 software for analysis. Regression, descriptive statistics and analytic statistical methods were employed in the analytical process and results presented in tables, graphs and figures for clarity and ease of understanding. The study findings reveal that the variables internal debt and debt from development financial institutions have a significant impact on economic growth while multilateral debt were insignificant. Moreover, all the variables multilateral debt and internal debt were found to have a negative relationship with economic growth of the East Africa region while debts from development financial institutions were found to have a positive relationship with economic growth of East African region countries. The study suggested the need of respective East African region's governments to establish and adopt an optimal balance between multilateral debt, debts from DFIs and domestic debt to maintain steady economic growth. With domestic debt having a negative significant effect on GDP growth is an indication of a crowding-out effect thus a need to strike a balance on the optimal domestic borrowing that would not negatively affect private investments in the East African region

“…Indigenous women’s movements in East Africa faced many challenges due to institutionalised patriarchy (Kinyanjui, 2012) and colonialisation [5]. Prior to colonialisation, women organised themselves (Berger et al , 2012) and even collectively imposed sanctions on husbands if women’s rights were violated (Kamau, 2010; Kinyanjui, 2012). In the struggle for independence, women redirected their energies from their collective support amongst women towards the support of nationalist groups (Kinyanjui, 2012; Mikell, 1997) hoping, in vain, to be rewarded with autonomy.…”

Purpose Contrasting two countries with different gender regimes and welfare states, Sweden and Tanzania, this paper aims to analyse how the institutional context affects the ways in which a neo-liberal reform agenda is translated into institutional changes and propose how such changes impact the preconditions for women’s entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach This study uses document analysis and previous studies to describe and analyse the institutions and the institutional changes. This paper uses Scandinavian institutional theory as the interpretative framework. Findings This study proposes that: in well-developed welfare states with a high level of gender equality, consequences of neo-liberal agenda for the preconditions for women entrepreneurs are more likely to be negative than positive. In less developed states with a low level of gender equality, the gendered consequences of neo-liberal reforms may be mixed and the preconditions for women’s entrepreneurship more positive than negative. How neo-liberalism impacts preconditions for women entrepreneurs depend on the institutional framework in terms of a trustworthy women-friendly state and level of gender equality. Research limitations/implications The study calls for bringing the effects on the gender of the neo-liberal primacy of market solutions out of the black box. Studying how women entrepreneurs perceive these effects necessitates qualitative ethnographic data. Originality/value This paper demonstrates why any discussion of the impact of political or economic reforms on women’s entrepreneurship must take a country’s specific institutional context into account. Further, previous studies on neo-liberalism have rarely taken an interest in Africa.

“…The banking sector average liquidity in financial year ending the in December 2018 was above the statutory minimum requirement of 20 percent. This has left many financial analysts on how can banks hold such amount of cash in a credit needy economy such as Kenya according to (Kamau, 2009). This was attributed by the CBK to the banking sector's choice to invest in the less risky government securities, whereas Ngugi and Ndung'u (2000) as authored by Kamau (2009) made justification that this liquidity problem is due to restrictions put on commercial banks at the discount window, alongside the thin interbank market, a high reserve requirement and choice of government securities.…”

This study assessed and deliberated on the influence of liquidity regulation on financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. This research employed descriptive research design which is suitable for description and measurement of phenomena with high level of accuracy. The target population was 31 commercial banks established under banking act and licensed by CBK for the period 2014 to 2018. Secondary data was obtained and analyzed from published annual financial supervision records at the Central Bank of Kenya, and banks end year financial to statements. Descriptive data analysis was used to determine mean, median, tables graphs, and inferential analysis, where correlation analysis and regression analysis was adopted. The study established that liquidity regulation has positive influence on financial performance of commercial banks. Therefore, the study concluded that liquidity regulation has significant influence on financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. Commercial banks are required by regulators to hold a certain level of liquidity assets so as they can meet their financial obligation as they arise. By commercial banks holding adequate liquidity, they reduce possibilities of liquidity risk which have negative effect both to individual commercial banks and financial sector as a whole. The study recommended that commercial banks management to motivate their customers to save more money with competitive interest rates, this would increase their liquidity and capital to lend more money hence improved profits.
