This progress in a market-friendly environment has continued to attract the interest of foreign investors. As a result, Kenya is recognized as a frontier market increasingly integrated in global financial markets. A Eurobond debut issue of USD 2 billion (the largest in SSA so far) took place successfully in June followed by a USD 750 million re-tap in December.
