That's the disadvantage of running a super strong currency.... Everything made in your country becomes super expensive..

The advantage is that, everyone wants to store value in your currency hence you'll have to keep a lot of gold as reserve in order to redeem the circulation, and this becomes a hedge against inflation and allows you to print more money.

In infect, you can say the Swiss Franc is gold backed at least at 50% by law

That makes sense

Just40:
Having a high cost of living above all is not the same as being inflationary.

In fact, Switzerland has been highly deflationary for years

I know, I'm saying they shouldn't be having increased prices overtime at the state which they are.

There's going to be a runoff.

The gap will be too small, like 50k votes......they'll just top up and meet in court

Shma2022:

Check if the current IEBC numbers tally with previously conjured mount Kenya votes.

I'll check

rvp2018:
That makes sense

That's why they are a model for most economic policies...
They've faced deflation without it negative effect, escaped inflationary pressures and run some of the best monetary policies that have made them super rich

GeneralDae:

I know, I'm saying they shouldn't be having increased prices overtime at the state which they are.

They are not having increase prices and they have not had increased prices for a long time.

Over the past 20 years, prices there have either remained the same or decreased

Shma2022:

Awsome

My candidate is winning big.
The tallying and verification is probably ending this night. So by tomorrow evening, we will know who the president is.

Stay tuned.

I will be patiently waiting. All the best to you guys.

Rwandas strategy

Oya, leave Rwanda. Explain Benin's strategy. What are they doing right?

Benin republic does not even have a central bank or a currency they control totally. So I do not think the current low inflation in Francophone West Africa is completely of their own doing or special economic policies.

Benin with 12 million people benefits from both worlds. Lots of foreign investors from China and Europe currently as well as proximity to Lagos.

Benin is doing quite well in her own way at the moment and is currently building one of the largest free trade zones for manufacturing in Africa at the moment.

There must be something they're doing well for those foreign investments to come in.
And another thing is that they grow most of what they eat and don't import much. Most of what they import move on to Nigeria.

Tom Wolf of Tiffa clearly has no shame. The same with Azimio - backed by gov and everything - now they are causing commotion trying to stop tallying. This one is gone.

A large chunk of their economy at a time was also dependent on smuggling goods into Nigeria. They were most affected by the closure of our borders.
Now of course, they may be doing something right to have a negative inflation.
For me, I do not take them that seriously though because they do not really have a central bank that makes some top financial policies for them, like control of interest rates and so forth. There's one central bank for 8 West African countries controlled by France.

rvp20182:
Kalenjin are everywhere - you just dont see us - because we are experts in disguise you see us; you dont see us - in my home in Nairobi - we are the majority - out of 20 odd hse in our court - Kalenjin are 7 families, three are kikuyus, three luhyas, 2 kambas, one coastarian, one borana, one embu, two kisii, one Luo (built a small kindergaten). Kalenjin like cluster together - so even those 7 families we are a ring...all my immediate neighberbours are all kalenjin

As for Langata - that Ruto plotted for since 2007 - Kalenjin have been registering in Karen - we missed it by whisker in 2013 - and got it 2017 - I dont see how the comedian can beat Generali.

Imagine next Tuesday your President Kalenjin; Nairobi Governor Kalenjin; 10 other governors or deputy governos Kalenjin; then 55 mps !! Kalenjin are what nearly 7 million people by Now. 3rd largest tribe and you cannot see them. Nearly every watchman I see nowadays is a Kalenjin.

You better get off this tribal nonsense and focus on KENYA.

You said Ruto has been working on it for 15years only to get this

Luos transffered from Kibra to Langata after 2017 - but we got governor and pork. Keep Langata and the Kibra slum.

As the days go by it is looking increasingly likely we will be under another dark period of Kalenjin misrule. hopefully less if we impeach the tyrants. The thieves have done it again to Jakom. The curse from his father was real. Even the so called deep state could;n't rescue him. All the drama is meant to delay the inevitable loss. Haidhuru, the country will remember him as a champion for Kenya's progress. All that Ruto Mwizi is enjoying today is courtesy of the new dispensation that he opposed. I'd much rather be under Kikuyu hegemony than Kalenjin soulless rule. You are a cursed tribe.

I don't think there's any major investment coming into Benin, I really doubt they have major industries to begin with.

And like Nigeria, Benin import most of what they eat too.... but Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad and sometimes Mali do import goods through their ports cos of it's easiness.

they're actually not doing anything significant regarding inflation.

They, along with several french colonies in Africa that spend CFA have their currency pegged to the Euro since 1999, reason why the former french colonies usually deposit about half of their treasuries into France' treasury..... And as u've said, those former colonies don't/can't have a fiscal or monetary policy of their own, they have to depend on France for their monetary policy.

Thinking of how they manage to have low inflation rates for over 2 decades? ........ That's where France comes in.

Fingers crossed.

I foresee chaos, disaster, confusion, war... Everything! At this time, I won't utter any word.

It's bad.

Tension is mounting. Deep state is overworking while Ruto is not taking any chance for granted.

I don't see Uhuru handing power to the mighty thief from sugoi - if in case he rigged to win.

On the other hand, Baba the 5th has all evidence for a win. All tallied votes puts baba ahead. Including international sources like Reuters and BBC.

But Major ethnic tribe in in Lang'ata is kikuyus & Luhyas? What the hell are you talking about bro?

I believe majority of Luos votes in kibera. Lang'ata is way different.

Almost a week after voting took place. The country is likely to erupt after announcement of a winner. We saw it in the past.

The government knows what they're up against so they won't try any silly move. Ruto is a man of steel and will deal with them ruthlessly when he assumes office. Best thing they can do is flee or strike a deal to protect their remaining assets.

Their supporters are desperate for violence but even they are scared of the demon from Sugoi.

I think violence is imminent now. I fear for those living in the slums. They usually bear the brunt.

She is dusted. Allow me to pass her over to my good friend mtis.

Kenya Election Update: As soon as Ruto overtook Raila on the official count; Azimio goons have basically stalled and disrupted the process; as police watch "helpless".

Meanwhile Kenya Kwanza - Ruto coalition - have absolute majority of parliament, senate and have majority of governors.

The Raila - our perennial loser - once again has choked despite enormous support from gov, rich political & business elite, and his opposition machinery.

Will there be violence...pretty much depend on the scared demented drunkard Uhuru...he is still hasnt accepted that Ruto has beat him and is coming for him.

Dude she is 60yrs or something like that - Raila's girlfriend - why would you be admiring a post-menopuasl woman.
