The value of Kenya’s exports to Uganda crossed the Sh100 billion mark for the first time in November 2023, owing to a weak currency that had made the local goods cheaper in the neighbouring country.

Official data shows that Kenya exported goods valued at Sh105 billion to Uganda in the year to November last year, a period that saw the Kenyan shilling lose 17.45 percent of its value against the Ugandan shilling.
