The central objective of this report is to identify the main impediments to productivity growth faced by Kenyan firms. The top constraints identified by the Kenyan managers were tax rates, access to finance, corruption, security, infrastructure services (electricity and transportation), and business licensing. Kenya has reduced the corporate tax rates in recent years. Nevertheless, objective indicators suggest that the tax burdenDirections in development (Washington, D.C.)Directions in development (Washington, D.C.).Private sector development.World Bank e-Library.InvestmentsKenyaBusiness enterprisesKenyaCorporate cultureKenyaInvestmentsBusiness enterprisesCorporate culture330.96762Iarossi Giuseppe1921552DLCDLCBTCTAYDXCPC#PBWXCDXDLCBOOK9911103016803321An assessment of the investment climate in Kenya4667769UNINA05372nam 2200805 a 450 991114697180332120251117072625.01-282-40117-3978661240117690-474-2897-810.1163/ej.9789004175532.i-366(CKB)1000000000821826(EBL)468156(OCoLC)570375494(SSID)ssj0000336208(PQKBManifestationID)11245446(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000336208(PQKBWorkID)10281721(PQKB)10748932(nllekb)BRILL9789047428978(Au-PeEL)EBL468156(CaPaEBR)ebr10349158(CaONFJC)MIL240117(PPN)174391056(MiAaPQ)EBC468156(EXLCZ)99100000000082182620090305g20099999 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe Conversos and Moriscos in late medieval Spain and beyond /edited by Kevin Ingram1st ed.Leiden ;Boston Brill2009-1 online resource (376 p.)Studies in medieval and Reformation traditions ;v. 141/1Converso and Morisco studies ;v. 1Conference papers.90-04-17553-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Preliminary Material /K.

Ingram.Converso and Morisco are the terms applied to those Jews and Muslims who converted to Christianity in large numbers and usually under duress in late medieval Spain. The Converso and Morisco Studies publications will examine the implications of these mass conversions for the converts themselves, for their heirs (also referred to as Conversos and Moriscos) and for medieval and modern Spanish culture. As the essays in this first volume attest, the study of the Converso and Morisco phenomena is not only important for those scholars focused on Spanish society and culture, but for academics everywhere interested in the issues of identity, Otherness, nationalism, religious intolerance and the challenges of modernity.
