The Cost of Doing Business: A Key Concern for Kenya's Retail Sector
The cost of doing business remains a significant concern for businesses in Kenya.
The World Bank's November 2026 Kenya Economic Update highlights high electricity costs, administrative inefficiencies and logistics challenges as constraints to business competitiveness.
For the retail sector, these challenges have a direct bearing on supply chains, distribution costs, operational expenses and ultimately the prices consumers pay.
At RETRAK, we continue to champion constructive stakeholder engagement, policy advocacy and reforms that create a more predictable, efficient and competitive business environment.

RETRAK was pleased to participate in the Nairobi County MSME Policy Development Workshop, contributing to the formulation of a policy framework aimed at strengthening the growth, resilience, and competitiveness of micro, small, and medium enterprises in Nairobi County.

Our participation focused on Infrastructure, one of eight thematic areas informing the policy development process. Working alongside fellow stakeholders, we examined key infrastructure-related challenges affecting MSMEs from a governance and asset perspective, identified relevant existing legislation, and developed policy recommendations to address gaps that constrain business operations and growth.

For the retail sector, access to reliable, affordable, well-planned and maintained infrastructure is essential to reducing operational costs, improving market accessibility, and enabling businesses of all sizes to thrive.
Our participation reflects RETRAK's commitment to ensuring that the realities of retail businesses are represented in policy development, from consultation through to implementation.

We commend Nairobi County for embracing a collaborative approach to policy development and look forward to continued engagement as the MSME Policy takes shape.
At RETRAK, we remain committed to advancing evidence-based, business-responsive policies that foster a more competitive and inclusive retail environment.
