The Export-Import Bank of India (Exim) has activated a Sh1.54 billion ($15 million) credit line for Kenyan SMEs to finance capital goods imports from the Sub-continent.

The Indian lender signed the financing agreement with the government in July last year during the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the country, and it came into effect on February 17 to run for five years.
