Kenya missed the target on earnings from exports for companies operating in low-tax setups because of weak demand from global clothing firms, the State Department for Investment Promotions has said.

The firms in Export Promotion Zones (EPZs) sold goods worth Sh115.71 billion to foreign countries, largely the US, in the year ended June 2024, falling short of the Sh118 billion target for the review year.
