The Capital Markets Authority (CMA) has licensed four new capital market players and approved additional investment products to expand Kenya's financial sector. Among the approvals are Etica Capital’s Multi-Asset Fund and the Acorn Build-to-Rent REIT, which aim to diversify financial offerings. Separately, Diamond Trust Bank Kenya announced its plan to sell its entire 83.67% shareholding in DTB Burundi. The stake will be sold to a consortium of primarily Burundian investors. This divestment aligns with DTB's strategy to concentrate on its core markets in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
