Brand Finance said Kenya had experienced a 37 per cent positive change as a destination for investments by multinational and was among the top 10 fastest growing nation brands globally.
“A country’s national image on the brands based there and the economy as a whole is now widely acknowledged as the most important asset encouraging inward investments, adding value to exports and attracting tourists and skilled migrants,” Brand Finance chief executive David Haigh said.
Tanzania was placed at position 88 from last year’s 93 with its brand value set at Sh2.9 trillion with its brand rating also improving from A to A+.

The positive rating means Kenya as a ‘commercial’ brand is globally visible and is a place where investors’ money can be injected for long-term generation of profits.
