The Secondary equities market remained resilient, recording a 4.38% increase in market capitalization quarter on quarter, reflecting a KSh 88 Billion rise in investor networth.

CMA mentions that Outlook for the quarter remains positive with more Treasury Bond issues expected.

“The secondary debt and equities market expected to remain stable, driven by innovations to promote more activity,” said Luke Ombara-Director, Regulatory Policy and Strategy, CMA.

But performance could be undermined by persistent net foreign equities outflow, profit warnings and the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Volumes traded increased by 4.51% to 1,421.84 Million in Q2. 2020 compared to 1,360.48 Million in Q1. 2020.

The NSE All-Share Index recorded a 4.37% increase to close the quarter at 137.68, a massive improvement from a decline of 20.73% for the NSE All-Share witnessed in Q1 2020 when Kenya reported its first COVID-19 case.
