Kenya’s imports from China—the country’s leading source of goods—grew 11.58 percent to Sh546.3 billion in the six months to June, marking a rebound from a rare slowdown during last year when inflation muted consumption.
Kenya imported goods worth Sh489.6 billion from the Asian country in the first half of 2023—meaning that shipments grew by Sh56.7billion compared to a similar widow of 2023, according to data by the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China.
