Kenya and the Africa Import-Export Bank (Afrieximbank) have a strong and cordial relationship boosted by a 2023 country programme to accelerate industrialisation, special economic zones, industrial parks and infrastructure.
Consequently, we are working with the bank in the development of several special economic zones at Dongo Kundu (Mombasa), Sagana (Kirinyaga), Naivasha (Nakuru), Thika (Kiambu), Eldoret (Uasin Gishu), Nasewa (Busia) and, with Kenya Commercial Bank, Vipingo SEZ (Kilifi).
We support AfriEximbank and other African financial institutions because they understand our countries better, have developed home-grown solutions to our challenges and they believe in Africa.
This is the reason Kenya boosted our share capital in the bank by $50 million a few years ago.
