The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) in partnership with the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and the Kenya Investment Authority (KenInvest) are geared to conduct a the 5th edition of the Foreign Investment Survey (FIS) 2018 from June to August 2018.
FIS 2018 will collect information from resident enterprises on their foreign assets and liabilities where the data collected will be used to improve the quality of data for compilation of Balance of Payments (BOP) and International Investment Position (IIP) statistics. In addition, data collected will be used for investment promotions and policy formulation.
The survey will be administered to resident enterprises (both local and foreign owned). These enterprises are statistically selected from a pool of enterprises with foreign assets and liabilities.
Confidentiality of data collected is guaranteed under the Statistics Act, 2006 that empowers KNBS to collect Balance of Payments Statistics and other related external statistics. Foreign investment surveys are conducted on an annual basis. The findings of this survey will be disseminated in October, 2018 and will be made available on the KNBS website.
