About the publication

"New Markets - New Opportunities: Kenya" is a joint publication by Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), the Delegation of German Business (AHK) for East Africa and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, published in November 2020. In the following, we compiled important important aspects from the publication on this topic.

Economic structure and prospects

Kenya has a diverse economic structure. Its diversity makes the country one of Africa's major business centres. The 4.4 million metropolis Nairobi is the engine of the Kenyan economy.

These sectors are particularly attractive for the market entry in Kenya:

  • Energy/ Renewable Energies
  • Agriculture and food processing
  • Construction and infrastructure
  • Water management
  • Health economy

Investment climate

International observers appreciate Kenya's openness to foreign investors. The level of institutions (keyword legal certainty) as well as the goods, financial and labour markets are rated high in African comparison. Furthermore, the market size also scores well. Kenya serves as a hub for East Africa. Numerous companies, also from Germany, have already invested in a sales office in recent years, mostly in Nairobi, from which they serve the entire region.
