Importance...
The UK is the first country outside of Africa to enter into a trade agreement with Kenya, the East African Community’s largest economy. UK-Kenya bilateral trade is already worth KES 167bn (£1.1bn) per annum, with capacity for significant growth.
UK-Kenya Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), which came into force in March 2021 ensures that all companies operating in Kenya, including British businesses, can continue to benefit from duty-free access to the UK market – saving exporters over KES 1.5bn (£10m) every year in duties on products such as green beans and cut flowers.
The agreement supports Kenya to grow its economy in a sustainable way, whilst providing UK businesses with increased trade opportunities. It secures jobs for Kenyans, whilst enhancing Kenya’s global competitiveness, trade capabilities, and ability to attract investment. he EPA has benefited approximately 2,500 UK businesses exporting goods to Kenya each year, providing frictionless trade.
CICL UK aims to promote trade and showcase Kenyan Investment Opportunities through this Investment Forum.
