rvp20182: Great. Housing shouldn't left to informal sector. Gov, pension, life insurance n large housing investor should build houses that are cheap enough to bought through mortgage in Africa like rest of the world
Seems like it's a having a negative effect on private sector

Kenya Tops East Africa in Diaspora Remittances with $4.8 Billion as per the new report of 2024. —Kenya: $4.8 billion —Somalia: $1.7 billion —Uganda: $1.5 billion —South Sudan: $1.1 billion —Tanzania: $757 million —Rwanda: $537 million —Burundi: $48 million
Back to same old arguments of 2017,....been watching allot of projects acrross Africa, those in progress and completed, watched allot of aerial and ground views of cities ...as much theres many challenges in Kenya, but I think there's no country in West Africa that is better than Kenya in whatever way
AfriqueDuZuid12: i see that all over Nairobi, Rosebank in SA has same amount
I know SA has many projects too but majority of them are not highrise just like many other places in Africa...that's why I said Nairobi is going the Asian way
vaxx: 🏦🏙 The bank square is the new, tallest building in Ghana 🇬🇭.
The Bank of Ghana (BoG) officially commissioned its state-of-the-art headquarters called the Bank square. The edifice is 100 metres tall with a 24 Storey Tower Block, 8 Storey Urban Block, 6 Storey amenities block, three (3) level basement car parking areas, ancillary facilities. The facility can accommodate over 2,500 staff. It has public banking halls, a currency museum, conference rooms, and a rooftop auditorium with a seating capacity of 1,500. It has solar powered edifice with eco-friendly materials, making it a benchmark in sustainable construction.
Note 📝: The Alto apartment, which forms the part of Villagio Vista buildings enclave, used to be the tallest building in Ghana with 95 meters of high and 27 floors.
Yes the difference noticeable... I've been watching what is happening in different countries concerning real estate... I think Ghana is doing great in that part of Africa, the estate roads quality is good too something that we're going backwards about in Kenya
Obiano13: Ofcourse after pocketing massive bribes Ruto has no option but to try to push it through. I expect Adani's assets/accounts to be frozen by the US in due course. The guy will be broke and unable to invest. The Adani group atm has USD 30B debt which it won't be able to refinance with this USA case. Their shares plummeted 20% today. The main reason they wanted the Kenyan airport so badly was to access loans. As it stands the power deal is stopped. Only JurisPESA will save it in light of mitigating circumstances. Madam hotair herself is likely to be ejected soon.

AkoniMoipei: The Wandering Investor who specializes in the international real estate market has just bought three apartments in Nairobi. This guy is literally an SI Unit of real estate investment. If you seem him investing in your market its a sure bet. You'd think such smart guys would start avoiding Kenya after Kenyans roundly rejected the IMF bill but apparently they see more potential here than elsewhere. These guys were in West Africa and Southern Africa but did not invest in any real estate there finding the markets less attractive and depressed. Ladislas correctly deduces that the Kenyan market tends to be more resilient and lucrative because investments to Kenya basically come from all over the world, from other African countries, the West, the East, Global North and South - and Kenya never relies on single industries such as oil or agriculture or tourism.
Hot on the heels of this: Malaysian investors also committed themselves to helping Kenya enter the lucrative semi-conductor manufacturing industry at Konza City just a day ago. On the global stage, Malaysia is recognised as the sixth largest exporter of semiconductors, commanding 13% of the global market for semiconductor packaging, assembly and testing while driving 40% of the nation's export output.
I think Kenya esp Nairobi to specific is the only place that will look like Asian cities, you'll rarely find the kind of highrise apartments coming up in Nairobi anywhere else in Africa ... but it the only problem is corruption in Kenya for instance what does "see how we can work around it" in min26.00 mean... do these guys pay taxes really ?
Nowadays a building of 20-25flrs is just a common thing in Nairobi....I just copied this list of upcoming buildings from skyscrapercity.com

Nigeria's inflation rate is high due to a number of factors: Currency depreciation: The naira has depreciated, which has contributed to inflation. Fuel prices: Higher gasoline prices have contributed to inflation. Transportation costs: Transportation costs have increased, which has contributed to inflation. Food prices: Food prices have increased, which has contributed to inflation. Food inflation accounts for a large portion of Nigeria's inflation. Reforms: Reforms by the government, such as cutting subsidies for electricity and petrol, have contributed to inflation.
But why the huge difference yet both countries are in the mid of structural adjustments. Kenya's inflation this month is at 2.7 %, just a month after the opposition joined to save govt, which was teetering on the cusp of the abyss. Biggest blame is the naira.
This is confusing...so inflation is not supposed to be that low or what does this economist trying to insinuate
AskiaHarem: Literally nothing happened outside of currency revaluation. I don’t think you understand how Nigeria newly started working its restructuring and rebasing calculations. Which is why those numbers haven’t negatively affected anything on ground in any meaningful way. Nigeria’s literally in the same operating condition & position it was a couple years ago when its gdp was 500+ Billion and per capita.
Worry about Ruto & Xo Jinping
Of course the roads and buildings are still there....but I'm sure the cost of living has gone higher and life became harder
Wuoche: Nigerian Economy is collapsing before our eyes, what happened?
It's GDP per Capita stands at $877 and GDP of $199b ....but also Kenya's GDP growth is projected to stagnate at $116b upto 2026, its set to be overtaken by Angola
