肯未能将外国投资转化为工业发展

Core Insights - A study by the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPRRA) indicates that despite billions in foreign direct investment (FDI) flowing into Kenya, these investments are not directed towards critical industrial sectors such as manufacturing, mining, and construction, but rather into service sectors like retail, finance, information and communication technology, and hospitality [1] - The report highlights that even when investments do enter industrial sectors, they often take the form of greenfield projects, which require a long time to yield benefits and frequently do not align with local industrial needs [1] - The study found that in the four key sectors analyzed, both foreign direct investment and domestic direct investment (DDI) have statistically insignificant impacts on industrial output, revealing deep structural issues in Kenya's ability to attract and manage capital investments [1]
