Kenyan investors injected nearly Sh100 billion into the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in 2022, underscoring the surge of interest that accompanied the country’s entry into the East African Community (EAC) that year.
A new survey on foreign investments conducted by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and the Kenya Investment Authority (KenInvest) shows that the surge in money flows quickly cooled the following year, reflecting both the initial excitement and the risks that continue to shadow investment in the troubled Central African state.
