Kenya business and tech news that matters to your biashara. Headlines, context, and what it means for you.
KRA has pushed the mandatory eTIMS integration deadline for businesses with turnover below KES 5M to December 31, 2026.
Our take
This buys small businesses more time, but the direction is clear: every business will need eTIMS. If you are doing over KES 1M in revenue, start now rather than scrambling in December.
Safaricom reported a record 42 billion M-Pesa transactions in Q1 FY2027, up 18% year-on-year. Buy Goods (till) transactions grew fastest at 31%.
Our take
If you run a shop and still receive payments via "Send Money", you are paying higher fees than you need to. A till number is free for the customer and cheaper for you.
The Monetary Policy Committee maintained the Central Bank Rate at 10.75%, citing stable inflation at 4.2%.
Our take
Stable rates mean stable loan costs for the next two months. If you have been considering a business loan, the environment is predictable. Use our loan calculator to model payments at current rates.
