Kenya Vision 2030 Delivery Boardย Chairย is reaching out to Kenyans living in the USA toย invest backย home.
Dr. James Mwangi,ย Chairman of Kenyaโs Vision 2030ย and CEO of Equity Group Holdingsย will be holding diaspora meetings in Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Boston and New Jersey to discuss โEmerging investment opportunities in Kenyaโ.ย The intentionย of this driveย is to offerย Kenyansย information onย opportunities to invest back home while living or working abroadย and controlย howย their moneyย works for themย from wherever they are.
The forums will be held between 8th December – 12th December, 2016. Kenyans will be exposed to available secure opportunitiesย for investment back home.
Kenya,ย which is East Africaโs largest economy, is forecast to grow at about 6 per cent this year.ย There are a number of reasons for optimism across the region including increasing infrastructure investments, fiscal consolidation and a developing private sector.
Kenyaโs economy remains resilient growing at 6.1% in the first 6 months of this year compared to a similar period when it grew at 5.3% in 2014 and 5.6% last year. Kenya is arguably the fastest growing country in Africa as it stands today and the focus for the Kenyan economy to grow by 6% in 2016 is still feasible.
The World Bank believes that Kenya in particular โhas the potential to be one of Africaโs great success stories from its growing and youthful population, a dynamic private sector, a new constitution, and its pivotal role in East Africa.โ
