New vehicle sales decline 17pc on high taxes, interest rates
Sales of new vehicles in Kenya fell 17.66 percent in the first quarter of 2024, the sharpest drop in seven years. This decline was attributed to increased taxation, rising interest rates, and a weakened shilling. Dealers such as Isuzu, CFAO, and Simba Corporation have been struggling in a tough operating environment, with climbing interest rates and pending bills affecting demand. The Kenya Revenue Authority also increased duty on shipping cars into the country, further impacting sales. Isuzu East Africa and CFAO Motors Kenya, which control a significant portion of new vehicle sales, experienced declines in sales, while Simba Corp saw a modest increase. The falling demand for vehicles has also affected government revenues.
