Kenya

Business Indicators

With an overall score of 5.82/12 Kenya is below standard on the economic, legal, and political indicators that make up our Business Index. Kenya has a market-based, mixed economy. The Heritage Foundation indicates that government spending equaled only 22.5 percent of GDP. Foreign and domestic investors are restricted from investing in areas where the state holds a monopoly such as certain infrastructure sectors, media and insurance. Foreign investors encounter other barriers, including inadequate foreign investment law, licensing requirements, import restrictions, and an overall cumbersome regulatory environment. While property rights and contracts are enforceable, the legal system experiences long delays. Political instability due to internal power struggles poses a threat to investors. Corruption is extensive, as reflected by Kenya's ranking of 150th out of 180 countries in Transparency International's 2007 Corruption Perceptions Index.
