Do you know Kenya's problem has a China hand behind this?
Kenya's economy has collapsed. It is a heavily indebted nation that struggles to repay loans, most of which are owed to China. 1/5
Kenya is not the first country to witness economic collapses & social unrest due to the Chinese debt trap. Several developing nations have witnessed a similar fate. Sri Lanka also witnessed such unrest last year. Nations are collapsing due to Chinese loans. 5/5
@Midnightcause
Approx. 25% of debt financing funds are used to repay loans from China, which is not only Kenya's largest lender but also source of more than 70% of all bilateral debts owed by the East African nation. By June 2023, that was equivalent to 882.5 Bn Kenyan shillings, or $6.82 Bn.
The decision to raise taxes was mainly influenced by the need to address fiscal imbalances and repay the debt owed to China. The terms and interest rates of these Chinese loans are not transparent and undisclosed, making them problematic debts. 3/5
For the countries that have relied primarily on Chinese lending, such as Sri Lanka & Pakistan, the issue with Chinese loans has been the lack of transparency & a history of defaults or circumstances dangerously close to default. 4/5
Laos is going to be the next casualty of China's debt trap!
The tiny SEA nation is on the brink of default due to a substantial debt burden, which amounts to 108% of its GDP.
Like every collapsing country, China is its biggest creditor. 1/4
