NAIROBI Alvaro Morata World Cup Jersey , Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- The construction of Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) should help boost Kenya's economic growth to 6.9 percent in 2015, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Friday.
The IMF said in a statement that the initiation of the high- speed railway project is a major step for Kenya and for the East Africa region.
"The SGR's initial construction work will contribute to higher real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, projected to rise to 6.9 percent in 2015 from 5.3 percent in 2014," the organization said.
China has agreed to fund the first phase of a standard gauge railway line Sergio Rico Spain Jersey , linking the East African nation's port city of Mombasa to Uganda, Burundi and South Sudan.
China Exim Bank will fund 90 percent of the 3.6 billion U.S. dollars for the first phase of the project that will cover 485 kilometers from the port of Mombasa to Nairobi.
The Kenyan government will provide the remainder of the funding, the Kenyan president office said in a news release.
The IMF said Kenya's fiscal monetary policy will aim at preserving debt sustainability while providing room for the execution of the railway project.
"The SGR will boost integration across East Africa by reducing transport costs significantly, bringing down the cost of doing business and improving standards of living for the population Sergio Ramos Spain Jersey , helping Kenya move closer to the medium-term goals outlined in its Vision 2030 plans," the IMF said.
According to the fund, imports of equipment for the SGR project combined with continued investment in oil exploration are expected to keep the external current account deficit relatively high at around 8.5 percent of GDP in 2015, albeit a slight decline from a projected 9 percent deficit in 2014 thanks to lower international oil prices.
The contractor Sergio Busquets Spain Jersey , China Road and Bridge Corporation, has already said it plans to employ 30,000 locals at the peak of the project while 40 percent of the work would be sub-contracted to the local companies. The construction materials will also be sourced locally.
The SGR is to be constructed in line with the Chinese railway building standards, and its viability is dependent on the assumption that it will be part of a seamless railway system linking Kenya and Uganda Santi Cazorla Spain Jersey , and at the same time serving the landlocked Rwanda and Burundi.
The IMF said the precautionary loan facility it reached with Kenya would accommodate the SGR project and other initiatives launched by the government to remove hurdles to growth, while reducing vulnerabilities and preserving a sustainable debt position.
The SGR is intended to reduce the cost of doing business by reducing the cost of transport, a move that will see Kenya become a competitive business hub for the East African region and beyond.
Passenger trains will have a speed of 120 kilometers per hour while those for freight will be designed to move at 80 kilometers an hour.
Analysts say the realization in East Africa is that a common approach to such a project could win if approached jointly. The region expects to use the rail to meet its transportation needs from the port of Mombasa.
Commencing a business and becoming profitable is often perhaps the American Dream. But there can be a difference between starting a company and building an excellent business. Many businesses fail within the first few many years of existence due to lack of planning for the long-term. There is too few vision and there is not enough done to strengthen the business enterprise properly from the earth up.
If you need to start an organization there is a simple way to get an even better understanding of the reason some businesses fail yet others don't. When starting a business think it over similar to building a house. If done right it's protecting you against any type of storm or danger with the outside world and definately will last for years. It offers protection and protection. For you as well as your business that might be translated to that you might want to have a small business that is able to weather economical good and the bad (=storm) knowning that will provide income to pay the bills.
When building a house there are several different steps you should follow to develop the house build. You know you need a house, but you had got to pick a location and get an architect for you to plan everything out and about. In the business world that could be: you know you need to start an enterprise Pedro Rodriguez Spain Jersey , but you have to create a business idea and determine a business approach. The next thing for the house will be to build the foundation (and finally the basement) to the house. In the business community - you got to build the primary infrastructure (case: connecting with suppliers, find a manufacturer on your product, create a sales force, rent office space Paco Alcacer Spain Jersey , get a shipping truck, etc.). Once that is place you able to actually do organization and earn some funds. But you are not completely done but. You need to create a frame, put in windows therefore you need a ceiling on house. For your business because of this you pay off of debt, improve business processes and have professional help whenever needed.
As soon as the household is build maybe you want to fill up it with furniture and make it livable money. Nobody wants to sleep on the floor Oscar de Marcos Spain Jersey , right. Again translating this for the business world it might mean that a person invest money you earned back in your business. You buy machinery rather then leasing it. Eventually you buy a building, hire more employees, develop more items, move into fresh markets Nolito Spain Jersey , build up a superior cash reserve, and buy other businesses and the like. This is the step where invariably winners and losers separate. Re-investing money in to the business is an integral factor for good results. If you move and spend all the money by yourself salary to buy things you've nothing to go back to when the actual econom.
