The rise and rise of Africa

A majority of the African countries are registering some of the few fast growing economies in the world. Kenya for instance recorded tremendous growth in her middle class population. This has pushed demand for consumer goods including a booming real estate industry. The financial services industry has also increased in leaps and bounds. Regulatory institutions are also keen to spur the growth with increased government expenditure on infrastructure and improved business climate. This has opened vast business opportunities that continue to attract both local and international investors. If you are keen to take advantage of the vast opportunities in the country, please feel free to contact us for further discussions on the most appropriate steps to take.
