Forex losses have been a major challenge for many businesses, especially those that operate in emerging economies where exchange rate volatility remains high. By deferring the forex losses for up to five years, it offers a lifeline to struggling firms and a reprieve to business.

The Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) has also supported the proposal, noting that forex losses have been a significant burden for businesses, particularly those in the manufacturing sector. The deferment of forex losses from three years to five is a step in the right direction, as it will ease the pressure on businesses to quickly recover their losses, providing them with greater financial stability and the ability to focus on growth and development. It will also help to promote business continuity, especially in the manufacturing sector.

While the proposed change in the Finance Bill is welcome news for businesses, experts warn that it could have unintended consequences if not implemented properly. For instance, it could lead to increased tax evasion as some businesses may be tempted to engage in fraudulent practices to exploit the new regulations. To address these concerns, the government needs to implement strict measures to ensure that the proposed changes are fully implemented and that businesses are not taking advantage of the situation. The government should also be proactive in monitoring the impact of the proposed changes on businesses and the economy at large.
