The World Bank issued a press release on 12 April 2017 titled "Kenya's Economic Outlook to Dip in 2017."
Kenya's GDP growth is now expected to decelerate to 5.5 percent in 2017, down from the 6 percent that was projected in 2016. Kenya had a solid GDP growth rate in 2016 of an estimated 5.9 percent. Kenya is experiencing, however, headwinds due to the ongoing drought and a slowdown in credit growth to the private sector.

Self-Employed Africans and Chinese in Guangzhou, China
The UCLA International Institute published on 1 October 2015 a study titled "Entrepreneurship and Interracial Dynamics: A Case Study of Self-Employed Africans and Chinese in Guangzhou, China" by Min Zhou, Tao Xu, and Shabnam Shenasi.
The study examines how interacting social forces shape interracial relations and mobility pathways for migrant entrepreneurs in Guangzhou. It suggests that interactions between African and Chinese entrepreneurs are economically interdependent and socio-culturally contentious processes, shaping a myriad of intersecting identities and creating room for cooperation that transcends race, class, and migrant status.
