Commercial Counselor of Spain in Kenia
Ana Menéndez-Abascal
The Exporters and Investors Club has held in collaboration with ICEX, and exclusively for its associated companies, an online meeting with the Counsellor of the Economic and Commercial Office of Spain in Nairobi (Kenya), Ana Menéndez-Abascal.
After some words of welcome by our president Antonio Bonet, the presentation of the counsellor, Ana Menéndez-Abascal, focused on the state of the Kenyan economy, the economic and trade relations with our country, as well as the opportunities that Kenya offers to exporters and investors. She also offered a series of tips for business operations in this market.
Kenya has established itself as a crucial player in the East African economic landscape, standing out for its remarkable growth and development in recent years. With a vibrant and ever-expanding economy, the country presents a wide range of opportunities for our companies.
In the last 15 years, trade between Spain and Kenya has grown significantly. Likewise, the presence of Spanish companies in Kenya has increased since 2010, actively participating in locally and internationally funded projects, especially in the energy and water sectors. Kenya stands out as an attractive investment destination thanks to its ambitious Kenya Vision 2030 development plan, which aims to transform the country into an industrialised and competitive economy by 2030.
