Exports in Kenya

Kenya - Exports
Momentum likely picked up halfway through Q1 2022: Private sector business conditions improved in February–March and employment levels rose in the quarter. These dynamics should have somewhat cushioned the impacts of the war in Ukraine—mounting price pressures and supply chain disruptions—on demand and production. Going into Q2, spending will remain under pressure: At 14 April’s price review, amid the worst fuel shortages in a decade, taxes on fuel were raised to their highest levels since the country started setting levies for fuel in 2010. Soaring fuel prices will push up inflationary pressures and could lead to tighter monetary policy ahead, dragging on demand. More positively, on 14 April, the UN released USD 30 million to be distributed among Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia to mitigate food insecurity.Kenya - Exports Data
