Security worries are nothing new in Kenya and so the country is unlikely to see long-term investors pull money out after the deadly attack on a Nairobi shopping mall. Click through this link for more from Reuters.
Several key points to keep in mind:
1) Recent elections were transparent, and cemented Kenya's political stability.
2) Tourism accounts for only 10% of Kenya's total GDP, and at this time no travel advisories have been issued.
3) The Kenyan market's reaction was a slight, approximately 30 basis point pullback.
4) The Kenyan shilling has remained stable (see chart above).
