Kenya has emerged as one of the top investment priority destinations among American investors, even as US President Donald Trump's tariffs on Kenya begin to take effect.
A survey by the African Private Capital Association (AVCA) ranked Kenya among the top five preferred investment destinations over the next three years.
The country's strong performance was attributed to factors such as a robust market, active deal flow, and a growing innovation ecosystem. ''LPs and GPs participating in the survey have demonstrated divergent preferences in their selection of attractive regions and countries for private capital investment in Africa.
While most LPs have chosen West Africa as an attractive region, the vast majority of GPs (83 per cent) consider East Africa the most appealing region for private capital investment, closely followed by West Africa (78 per cent of GPs).
