The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has termed the impact of US President Donald Trump’s 10 percent tariff on Kenyan exports as immaterial amid fears of a global recession.

The apex bank has forecast that Kenyan exports to the US are likely to fall by only Sh12.9 billion ($100 million) in the aftermath of the latest wave of reciprocal tariffs.
