Mombasa's Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is expected the port city’s economy, adversely affected by state policies, including the introduction of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) and the online clearance of cargo.
Trade analysts say that the SEZ is also a solution to heavily skewed trade imbalance, as Mombasa Port is dominated by imports, though both sectors have recorded growth.
On Tuesday, President William Ruto presided over the signing of a pact between Mombasa Free Zone Limited, GulfCap Group, and DP World Africa for the development of a 535-acre SEZ in Jomvu, Mombasa.
