Kenya Implements New Policies for Finance, Aviation, and Agriculture Sectors - September 2025

The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has proposed new regulations that will require credit guarantee companies to maintain a minimum core capital of Sh1 billion, a move aimed at strengthening oversight. Separately, the Kenyan government has implemented a new structured evaluation framework to vet all foreign airline market access requests, moving away from ad hoc approvals to safeguard national interests. To diversify exports, Kenya also launched its inaugural specialty orthodox tea auction in Mombasa, which aims to boost the country's orthodox tea production and international trade. Additionally, an inter-ministerial committee has been established to resolve the outstanding terminal benefits and MAZIWA Sacco dues totaling Sh204.4 million owed to former Kenya Co-operative Creameries (KCC) workers from a dispute that began in 1999.
