The value of shares traded on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) in the first-half of the year rose by five percent, even as investors continue to experience a tough year where the value of their holdings at the bourse has slumped by Sh436 billion in the six-month period.
Trade turnover rose to Sh83 billion for the six months to June 30, compared to Sh79.2 billion in the corresponding period last year, new data shows. While the higher trade volume bodes well for stockbrokers, who rely on commissions earned from facilitating trading, investors have been counting their losses as share prices fell in the same period.
