Kenya’s trade deficit with China widened further in the first half of 2025 to Sh295.80 billion, underlining the country’s continued dependence on Chinese-manufactured goods, even as it pushes to expand exports through a proposed bilateral deal.
Latest data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that the gap between exports and imports increased by 21.86 percent from Sh242.75 billion in the same period a year ago.
