Geographic Location: Kenya is an East African country bordering the Indian Ocean, Lake Victoria, Ethiopia, and Somalia.
Population: With a population of more than 54 million people, Kenya represents a considerable opportunity for investment. The national language is Swahili, but English is widely spoken as well.
Economy: Kenya boasts a wealth of natural resources such as limestone, salt, gemstones, oil, gas, gold, and hydropower. Its main economic drivers include Telecommunications and Financial Services. Before the pandemic, Kenya’s economy was considered the fastest-growing on the continent. Since then, the country has recovered steadily with a last-recorded annual GDP growth of 7.5%. With its already well-developed physical infrastructural facilities, Kenya is ready to welcome and support more advanced development in the future.
