Kenya received approval from the World Bank for a $750mn development policy loan. As per the World Bank, the loan is expected to help Kenya address its debt pressures, fight corruption, attract private investment and generate savings etc. The multilateral lender will also help Kenya issue a $500mn sustainability-linked loan, for reforestation efforts and improved energy access. Given the nature of the sustainability-linked loan, while Kenya will have flexibility in spending, its cost of borrowing will be tied directly to environmental milestones.

Kenya’s 7.875% 2033s were trading stable at 100.8, yielding 7.7%.
