Ukur Yatani","speaker_title":"The Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury and Planning","speaker":null,"content":"Hon Speaker, this year’s Budget has been prepared against a background of a moderate global growth of 4.4 per cent from a recovery of 5.9 per cent in 2021. The global economy contracted by 3.1 per cent in 2020 following the outbreak of COVID-19 Pandemic. However, there are risks to this growth outlook largely from possible re-emergence of COVID-19 Pandemic and the ongoing conflict in Easter Europe."}
