The impact of international trade on Kenya's economic growth

Abstract

International trade is the exchange of goods and services across different countries that mainly involves the government of that country and usually represents a sizable amount of a country's gross domestic product. However, international trade is not the only contributing factor affecting the GDP of a country. The other factors that affect GOP include investments, government consumption, foreign direct investments, inflation rate, profit & capital gains and tax. The forecast for growth in sub-Saharan Africa is predicted to be positive due to its room for growth but is uncertain due to its political and institutional constraints (Global Economic Outlook, 2016)
