Kenya attracted a lower value of foreign and domestic investments in the last financial year even as jobs created by State-facilitated projects rose, signalling a shift towards labour-intensive ventures amid tighter global capital flows.
The value of government-facilitated investments fell by 10.26 percent to Sh106.68 billion in the year ended June 2025 from Sh118.88 billion a year earlier, according to figures from the State Department for Investment Promotion. This marked the first year-on-year decline in three years, following strong growth in the previous two.
