Theme: SUSTAINING PROSPERITY IN A VOLATILE GLOBAL ECONOMY
1.0 About the event
The 2016/2017 budget has been prepared against a backdrop of slower global growth and increase uncertainty with a moderate recovery on the global economy. Recent forecasts have seen global growth revised downwards and risks elevated. Despite these challenges, our economy has continued to grow respectably, buoyed by strong construction activity, easing international oil prices as well as a stable Macro environment.
Currently, the government has a number of on-going capital intensive projects and devolution which is setting with an increasing recurrent expenditure. All these pressures are happening in a context of a significant slump in tourism, mining and ICT sectors, a weakening shilling against major world currencies, huge public debts accounting for over 46.5% of the GDP, declining earnings in major cash crop and the upcoming general elections. It is therefore our duty as professional accountants to engage with and interrogate plans laid by the government in raising and spending tax revenues.
We continue in our tradition of organizing seminars around the country for our members, clients and business leader to interact with the Institute’s public sector experts and draw the first lessons and implications of the national budget. It is in this light that ICPAK has organized the Annual Budget Review Seminar to address pertinent issues relating to the 2016/17 budget to spotlight on:
- The current Macroeconomic environment- (Inflation, unemployment, debt situation and interest rates)
- Economic Implications of the 2016/2017 Budget
- Budget Projection vs Revenue Performance
- Miscellaneous Provisions
