Kenya’s goods trade surplus with Africa reached record levels in the first three months of the year driven by the fastest growth in exports for 12 years and a first fall in expenditure on imports in three years, official data shows.

Traders sold goods worth Sh98.85 billion to African countries in the January-March 2023 period against an import bill of Sh61.72 billion, according to provisional data collated by the Central Bank of Kenya.
Earnings from exports in the period were 23.33 percent higher than the previous year, the strongest growth since 2011, while imports fell 6.02 percent year-on-year from Sh65.67 billion in 2022.

This resulted in a merchandise trade surplus of Sh37.14 billion for the review period, a 156.45 percent climb over the same period last year.
 
Bring it down to Tz vs Ke perspective, can we get the figures?

We have outgrown the EAC region, such that we are nolonger interested in petty comparison, if anything we are even sourcing your raw material and generating goods for selling all over Africa.

Africa is open for business, you need to shape up and come out aggressively.
