SHARED VALUE REPORT 2019

OUTLOOK

Amidst rapid technological disruption and a dynamic regulatory and operating environment, the financial services sector continues to explore innovative ways to lower the barriers to access while increasing relevance and creating positive change.

It is without question that banks play a central role in the economy and society. This report shares numerous ways of how the industry is creating shared value at the national and county levels. The challenge remains to harness the industry’s potential to drive Kenya’s sustainable economic development and realization of the Vision 2030. Banks cannot maximise the sector’s potential alone. An enabling policy environment is critical. Moreover, stakeholder engagement and partnerships is imperative as highlighted in the Sustainable development Goals.
