President William Ruto has reiterated Kenya’s commitment to strengthening its economic partnership with the United States by creating fresh avenues for business and investment.
In a statement posted on his official X account, Ruto highlighted Kenya’s robust economic fundamentals, noting that the country is now ranked Africa’s sixth-largest economy.
He cited low inflation, a stable exchange rate, reliable connectivity, and a thriving digital market as key indicators of Kenya’s investor-friendly environment.
“Kenya offers the stability and confidence that global brands seek. With world-class talent, green energy, and strategic market access worth over USD 50 trillion, we are the natural gateway to Africa,” the president said.
Ruto delivered his remarks at the U.S.–Kenya Business and Investment Roundtable held on the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
The high-level forum brought together CEOs of leading American multinationals to explore trade opportunities, expand apparel sourcing, and deepen bilateral cooperation.
