Nairobi Stock Exchange
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) is the stock exchange of Kenya. It began in 1954 as an overseas stock exchange while Kenya was still a British colony with permission of the London Stock Exchange. The NSE is a member of the African Stock Exchanges Association.
Nairobi Stock Exchange is Africa's fourth largest stock exchange in terms of trading volumes, and fifth in terms of market capitalization as a percentage of GDP.[1] The Exchange works in cooperation with the Uganda Securities Exchange and the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange, including the crosslisting of various equities.
