NSE allows single-unit trading
In other news, the NSE will allow investors to buy and sell shares in single units starting August 8, 2025, following the Capital Markets Authority’s approval of amendments to the NSE Equity Trading Rules.
The reform eliminates the Odd Lot Board and enables all trades to be executed on the Main Order Book.
Mwiti said the move will increase financial inclusion by lowering barriers for small investors as the bourse aims to boost active investor numbers to nine million by 2029.
The change is expected to improve market access, flexibility, and liquidity and will make the Kenyan bourse more attractive to local and foreign participants.
