  • Retail investors re-enter the market amid strong NSE performance
  • Foreign investor inflows boost confidence in continued market rally

 

Kenya’s Central Depository and Settlement Corporation (CDSC) has reactivated over 1.2 million dormant share accounts on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). These accounts, which were frozen in 2019 after being inactive for two years, predominantly belong to retail investors who buy and hold stocks for dividends rather than for trading.
