President Ruto on Savings

Speaking during the State of the Nation address on Thursday, November 9, President Ruto lauded the growth of contributions to NSSF.
He noted, “as promised, we committed to take deliberate measures to foster a strong culture of saving among Kenyans.”
The head of state further revealed that until recently, the rate of Kenya’s public pension savings stood at Ksh1.4 billion a month, which is the lowest in our region at 12.5 per cent of GDP.
“Contributions to the National Social Security Fund have grown to Ksh6.5 billion monthly,” he added.
Notably, Ruto affirmed that the implication of this growth in the national savings is that it will significantly consolidate the ability to invest in development using domestic pension industry financing.
