Introduction
As global trade policies evolve, outsourcing is becoming a key driver of international economic integration. The BPO sector is now deeply linked to international trade agreements, making it easier for companies to access global talent pools.
How International Trade is Fueling BPO Growth
Trade Agreements Promoting Outsourcing – Deals like AfCFTA (Africa), USMCA (North America), and the EU Digital Trade Pact are creating outsourcing-friendly environments.
Cross-Border Service Exports – Outsourcing allows countries like Kenya, India, and the Philippines to export services, just like goods, increasing their trade revenues.
Improved Digital Trade Infrastructure – The rise of cloud computing, fintech, and remote collaboration tools has made international outsourcing more efficient than ever before.
Kenya’s Strategic Role in BPO & Trade
Kenya is capitalizing on its growing digital economy and stable trade partnerships to expand its outsourcing industry. Key initiatives include:
Expanding global partnerships in IT and finance outsourcing.
Encouraging international firms to set up BPO operations in Nairobi.
Training the workforce in global outsourcing standards.
