Kroll, the world’s leading business intelligence and investigations consulting firm, has described the Kenyan market as an exciting and dynamic opportunity for Kenyan and international investors alike.
Speaking recently at an event in Nairobi, Kroll’s senior consultant for Africa, Rt Hon Mark Simmonds, commented:
Kenya
is a bright spot amongst emerging market gloom. International and
regional investors are attracted by Kenya’s increasingly diverse
economy, highly skilled workforce, stable currency, largely business
friendly government, and advanced levels of integration with the wider
regional East African trading bloc. As a net energy importer Kenya is
also well positioned to benefit from low oil prices that look likely to
persist through 2016, with the country’s balance of payments
strengthening and current account deficit reducing as a result.
Kroll’s
recent work in Kenya has focussed not only on inward investment into
the country, but also on supporting Kenyan private sector businesses as
they expand into new markets in Africa. Kroll has assisted these Kenyan
clients in navigating the dynamics of their new markets, assessing the
reputations of their acquisition targets and joint venture partners, and
conducting investigative and integrity due diligence on their
counterparties.
In
addition, Kroll helps investigate and recover funds for public sector,
parastatal and private sector clients in both national and complex cross
border investigations.
As
Kenya moves rapidly towards becoming a digital economy – the Kenyan
government has announced its intention that “cashless” payments will be
the norm by 2020 – Kroll is also seeing increased demand from Kenyan
clients for its suite of services in the cyber security space, in both
cyber security and systems audits, and bespoke cyber investigations.
Kroll is keen to support the digitalisation of the Kenyan economy and,
by helping make it safer, be part of its success.
Kroll
has been operating in sub-Saharan Africa for over two decades, helping
clients worldwide deal with critical issues including investment
strategy and deal structuring, regulation, local content, compliance
issues, dispute resolution and financial crime.
“Our
experience in Africa has given us the commercial expertise, local
knowledge and range of contacts to provide advisory services tailored to
the specific needs of each client” added Alexander Booth, Associate Managing Director, Kroll.
