Kenya introduced a Government-to-Government (G2G) oil import arrangement in March 2023 after a dollar shortage disrupted fuel imports.
The system replaced the Open Tender System (OTS) and allows Kenya to import refined fuels such as petrol, diesel, jet fuel, and kerosene on up to 180-day supplier credit.
Suppliers include ๐ธ๐ฆ Saudi Aramco and ๐ฆ๐ช Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC).
The initial agreement ran six months to September 2023 and has since been extended. The structure allows fuel to be sold locally before payment, easing immediate demand for dollars.
