Kenya Seeks Consistent Policies to Boost Construction Investment

Kenya has the potential to accelerate investment in its construction sector by adopting consistent policies, according to speakers at the 9th edition of Big 5 Construct Kenya in Nairobi.

Predictability in regulation and taxation is crucial for investors to plan strategic projects in the country. The event brought together over 150 exhibitors from 25 countries to present solutions for Kenya's construction market.

Construction Sector Growth

Kenya is one of East Africa's most active construction markets, driving the country's economic growth and development. The sector is supported by a substantial pipeline of housing and urban development projects.

The country is transitioning towards sustainable building practices, with a focus on lower-impact materials and evolving construction practices. Collaboration across the value chain, investment in skills and knowledge, and the adoption of new practices are essential for delivering quality, safe, and sustainable buildings and infrastructure.
