Kenya Ranks 3rd In Top Emerging Markets By Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) In 2024

Thank you.

I like FDI .What would your thoughts be around this type funding I feel if Kenyan banks were to give the right business people locally insane amounts of money to do the same thing ,with a local start up culture we would achieve the better results with the right teams .(basically do what Korea ,Japan and China did.)

Might I be overestimating the amounts of money Kenyan Banks handle maybe ,but I also think more small businesses should start consolidating to form small partnerships or companies and access capital through NSE ,however its understandable the fragmentation is quite dire as well as a really archaic NSE currently in terms of identifying the changing times.

I think i find my initial response a better strategic play.

Yes ,I acknowledge the FDI but it isnt really FDI if the companies will set up shop locally and pay a handful number of employees the same current local pay .Its the same rabbit hole being replicated by many FDI corporations.

Invest a ton of money pay the first team a lot of money to get a good mgmt team after penetrating the market in 2 years expand and pay the larger new team the normal low basic salary.

However this is a skewed opinion based solely on the few FDI companies I've had the chance to see their operations.
