President William Ruto has underscored Kenya’s position as a premier investment hub in Africa, citing the country’s resilience, economic growth, and strategic location as key advantages for international investors.
Speaking at the US-Kenya Business and Investment Roundtable held on the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, the Head of State highlighted Kenya’s emergence as the continent’s sixth-largest economy.
He noted that Kenya has already positioned itself as a hub in global supply chains, particularly in apparel sourcing, with access to markets worth over USD 50 trillion.
“We seek to further deepen and expand the already robust partnership between Kenya and the United States of America with new business and investment opportunities,” President Ruto said, addressing top executives of American multinationals.
Ruto stressed that Kenya is not just inviting investors but seeking long-term partnerships to drive industrial growth, innovation, and trade between Africa and the US. He added that the country’s stability and sound financial management make it a reliable choice for global businesses seeking opportunities on the continent.
