Kenya lost over $345 million worth of foreign direct investment (FDI) and other investment inflows in three months as economic growth plummeted over increased political noise and unfriendly policies.
The latest Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) data shows that the country’s net financial account inflows dropped by 34 percent ($345 million) to $660 million in the first quarter of this year, compared with net inflows of $1 billion in the same period in 2022.
