Kenyans twice as wealthy as Ugandans,says World Bank

Kenyans now earn nearly double what neighbouring Ugandans earn each year, according to the latest World Bank Development Indicators.

The detailed statistical report produced annually by the World Bank puts Kenya's per capita at $1,290 against $670 for Ugandans, $920 for Tanzanians and $700 for Rwandans.

Per capita income is a country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) divided by the population to give an indication of the average earnings per person in a year.

Kenya’s overall Gross National Income stood at $58.1 billion in 2014/15, compared with $25.3 billion in Uganda and $46.4 billion in Tanzania.

However, the report also shows continuing levels of income disparity between the richest and poorest in the country.

According to the report, the poorest 20 per cent only receive 4.7 per cent of national income.

With increasing numbers of Kenyans living in cities and towns, the report says that 56 per cent of the urban population now live in slums, with 63 per cent having access to clean water.

Another 30 per cent access proper sanitation facilities and 23 per cent have electricity connection.

Kenya’s mortality rate for children under five years is also higher than the average for sub-Saharan Africa, at 49 deaths per 1,000 births compared with 45 for the African continent.

Another striking statistic is the number of Internet users in Kenya, which is 43 for every 100 people, the second-highest figure (after South Africa) for sub-Saharan Africa.

The World Bank says that globally, the number of people living in extreme poverty (below $1.90) has fallen to 13 per cent of the global population from 37 per cent in 1990.

The report adds that while undernourishment has been halved globally since 1990, over a quarter of the population in low-income countries still cannot meet their dietary requirements.

Tanzania is among Leaders of Africa in mobile banking

TANZANIA is among the three East African states that lead the Sub-Saharan Africa in mobile banking, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The Breton Wood institution said out of 28 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, for which information is available, the three countries have holders of mobile accounts exceeding 30 per cent of the adult population.

The fund named three leading countries with their percentage in brackets as Kenya (60), Uganda (37) and Tanzania (35). The report, Regional Economic Outlook: Sub-Saharan Africa, issued yesterday, placed Rwanda on seventh position with slightly less than 20 per cent. Burundi was at the tail with about two per cent while South Sudan featured nowhere in the report probably due to lack of available data.

“Kenya leads the region,” the report shows, “But mobile money transactions are also growing rapidly in Tanzania and Uganda, where the transactions doubled in the last three years in terms of broad money, reaching about 30 percent in mid-2015”.

In several African countries, namely Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Niger, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, the number of mobile accounts has already exceeded the number of traditional bank accounts. “The developments in mobile money boost financial inclusion, complementing traditional bank services,” IMF says in the report.

It adds: “The number of banking transactions via mobile devices almost doubled in the region in the last two years. East Africa has led this trend, but mobile banking has also increased in other parts of Africa”.

Early this year, the central bank set new targets of financial inclusion after the previous one was surpassed ahead of deadline as 80 per cent of adult population using a financial access point. The BoT moved the target to 70 per cent by 2017 from 50 per cent set for 2014.
