Zusammenfassung

The Kenyan market is one example of business opportunities in Africa. Kenya shows notable improvements in terms of business-related reforms while being in continuous need of investments in the energy and infrastructural sector. Still, many European companies and investors, particularly the German Mittelstand, are reluctant when it comes to implementing a project. Doing the math is not as much of a problem. Instead, there remain several unanswered, but essential legal questions. In the case of Kenya they concern investment conditions, competences, procedures and pertinent material regulations to finally engage in doing business.

Abstract

The Kenyan market is one example of business opportunities in Africa. Kenya shows notable improvements in terms of business-related reforms while being in continuous need of investments in the energy and infrastructural sector. Still, many European companies and investors, particularly the German Mittelstand, are reluctant when it comes to implementing a project. Doing the math is not as much of a problem. Instead, there remain several unanswered, but essential legal questions. In the case of Kenya they concern investment conditions, competences, procedures and pertinent material regulations to finally engage in doing business.
