The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) conducted Kenya’s first Diaspora Remittances Survey between 19th March and 17th May, 2021. The Survey was conducted in collaboration with the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). The overall objective of the Survey was to collect information on remittance inflows to Kenya. Specifically, the Survey aimed at establishing the efficiency and cost of alternative remittance channels; the difficulties encountered in remitting cash or in-kind transfers; the availability of information to Kenyans in the diaspora about investment opportunities in Kenya; and the usage of remittances received.
