President William Ruto on Tuesday held talks with the vice-chairman and global head of J.P. Morgan Public Sector Group Daniel Zelikow at the State House.
Ruto said they discussed the revision of development financing to be more responsive to climate change.
"We welcome the firm's expertise in environmental risks that will help Kenya to sustainably confront the climate change crisis," Ruto said.
He described it as a bold decision for J.P. Morgan — one of the world's leading financial services firms — to set up a regional office in Nairobi.
The President added that it showed Kenya's emerging success in the global marketplace.
