Kenya’s trade deficit narrowed by Sh33.6 billion in the four months of the year compared to a similar period in 2019, helped by a lower import bill and an uptick in export earnings.
Data from the Central Bank of Kenya shows that the country imported goods worth Sh556.2 billion in the four months to April 2020, a decline of Sh17.4 billion from a year earlier, while export earnings rose by Sh16.2 billion to hit Sh221.9 billion in the four months.
