Kenya Bolsters Investor Confidence with New NSE Trading Tech and Favorable High Court Ruling - December 2025
Nairobi has been ranked the third most attractive city in Africa in the Jeune Afrique 2025 African Cities Attractiveness Index, cementing its position as a regional tech and investment hub. Supporting this, a recent High Court decision in the Bruton Gold case reaffirmed that foreign companies do not need local registration to pursue legal claims, a move that reduces uncertainty for international businesses. The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) is also leveraging new technology to boost foreign investment, with Absa Securities Kenya executing the first sponsored access trades. This new model allows foreign investors to directly access the NSE’s trading engine for faster execution. Additionally, Viktoria Ventures has been awarded "Angel Network of the Year 2025" at the Africa Early-Stage Investor Summit for strengthening early-stage financing across Africa.
