We are strengthening the Kenya–Qatar financial partnership to unlock new investment, accelerate fintech innovation across our two markets, and expand targeted financial collaboration, including in Islamic finance. In Doha, witnessed the signing of a landmark agreement between the Nairobi International Financial Centre Authority and the Qatar Financial Centre in Doha , a milestone that will position our nations as key gateways for capital flows between Africa and the Gulf. This cooperation will deepen market access, support business expansion, and create opportunities for growth and jobs, a major step in advancing Kenya’s role as a regional financial hub and driving shared prosperity with our partners in Qatar.(William Samoei Ruto, PhD)
