The value of goods ordered from China into Kenya rebounded in the six months that ended June 2024 to grow at the fastest pace in three years, official data shows, partly reflecting higher orders of machinery and transportation equipment, including railway locomotives.
Spending on imports from China jumped 25.56 percent in the review period to Sh257.70 billion, according to provisional imports data from Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), marking a turnaround from a 9.96 percent fall to Sh205.24 billion a year earlier.
