Power BI macro-financial dashboard analyzing Kenya banking sector (2006–2023)
# Kenya Banking Sector (2006–2023) — Power BI Dashboard
## Executive Summary
This Power BI project examines Kenya's macro-financial and banking-sector performance from 2006 to 2023. It brings together indicators covering asset quality, capital, liquidity, credit depth, monetary development, foreign-exchange reserves and external-debt coverage.
The dashboard is designed as a policy and management monitoring tool rather than a comparison of individual banks.
## Problem
Banking-sector indicators are often published as separate time series, making it difficult to assess financial stability, financial depth and external resilience together.
The project addresses three decision questions:
- Has the banking system remained adequately capitalized and liquid while managing asset-quality pressure?
- Has private-sector credit and monetary depth expanded sustainably?
- Are foreign-exchange reserves sufficient relative to imports and external debt?
## Approach
1. Sourced Kenya financial-sector indicators in country-year-indicator-value format.
2. Filtered the analysis period to 2006–2023.
3. Removed duplicates and irrelevant fields.
4. Standardized numeric formats and indicator definitions.
5. Pivoted indicator codes into an analysis-ready annual table.
6. Created KPI measures and time-series visuals in Power BI.
7. Organized the findings into five linked analytical pages.
