About the Conference

The REITS Association of Kenya (RAK) was formed primarily to promote the growth of REITs in the Kenyan market. RAK does this by establishing a framework for the development of REITs, creating forums for potential issuers, investors and regulators to engage, partnering with other REITs Associations around the world and catalyzing knowledge transfer and learning experiences, among other initiatives.
