Kenya is East Africa’s strongest economy, accounting for 40 per cent of the region’s overall GDP. The success is generally attributed to the country’s liberal market-based economic system, which encourages efficiency, competition and foreign investment.

Kenya’s strengths include an established infrastructure, educated population (the adult literacy rate is 87 per cent) and a diversified economy. The country plays a leading role in Africa’s information communication revolution: urban internet penetration stands at 70 per cent, and international technology leaders including Google, IBM, Microso and Intel have regional headquarters in Nairobi. A major techno-city project (‘Silicon Savannah’) is underway in Konza, 70 km south of Nairobi.

An advanced capital market with over 60 listed companies on the stock exchange, Kenya attracted more private equity deals than any other country in East Africa in 2012.
