The American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) Kenya has partnered with the U.S. Africa Business Centre (USAfBC) and Covington to publish a business trade report. The report, titled
U.S.-Kenya Trade Negotiations: Implications for the Future of the U.S.-Africa Trade Relationship, examines the challenges and benefits of a potential free trade agreement (FTA) between the U.S. and Kenya.
Speaking during the report launch, AmCham Kenya CEO, Maxwell Okello, highlighted the purpose of the report as, “To contribute to the dialogue on achieving a robust, comprehensive, model FTA, by factual analysis of trade issues and by documenting insights from businesses and stakeholders. This, within the broader context of U.S.-Africa trade, recent and impending developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, the negotiation of the AfCFTA and the upcoming expiration of AGOA”.
