| Summary: | The World Bank interviewed a
representative sample of the private sector in 5 of the most
active economic regions in Kenya. The sample consisted of
713 business establishments surveyed from January 2013
through February 2014. The enterprise survey covers several
topics of the business environment as well as performance
measures for each firm. This report presents following
highlights from the survey: firms in Kenya exhibit low
employment growth; more firms export compared to six years
ago; and more days are needed compared to 2007 to clear
customs for direct exports and import; firms in Kenya report
an improvement in the use of financial service; losses due
to crime have declined since 2007 but security expenses have
become more burdensome; and one out of four firms in Kenya
private sector consider informal competition as the biggest obstacle. |
