Starting 5th May 2025, NEMA will begin implementing the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Regulations under the Sustainable Waste Management Act (L.N. 176 of 2024).

1/ A KES 150 levy will be introduced per item of packaging. ๐Ÿงต Image
2/ Whatโ€™s Affected?

The levy applies to nearly everything: plastic, glass, aluminium, paper, cardboard, rubber, leather, textiles, and composite packaging.

Think food wrappers, medicine boxes, cosmetic bottles, even sanitary pad packaging all fall under this. Image
3/ NEMA says the KES 150 will apply to "standard packaging" but that term isnโ€™t clearly defined.

For example, if Panadol tablets are packed in strips, which come in boxes, the boxes packed into cartons, and the cartons stacked onto pallets - what exactly is considered the chargeable item?

Is it the strips, the box, the carton, or the pallet?

10 Key Takeaways from the CBK Post-MPC Briefing by the Governor.

1. CBK is keen on the separation of Safaricom & M-Pesa:

"One of the factors that has been delaying this..is the tax liability which is fairly significant in the order of at least KES 75B & what to do with it"
2. There has been a sharp rise in remittances to Kenya this year:

"If one were to compare the first two months of 2024 (Jan & Feb 2024), we see remittances for those two months compared to the two months in 2023 have increased by more than 20%"
3. There was a slowdown in growth in credit to the private sector in Feb 2024 from 13.8% to 10.3%

"A certain amount of private sector loans is denominated in dollars & therefore, when the exchange rate appreciated the level of credit to the private sector did decline"
