Kenya • Fintech & AI
African finance is now stepping into the age of artificial intelligence. The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), whose CEO Frank Mwiti announced the project, is preparing Kenya's first AI-focused ETF, offering exposure to the global giants of the sector (Microsoft, OpenAI, Samsung) in Kenyan shillings. Boosted by its integration into Safaricom M-Pesa, which has already drawn one million young investors, and by a 30% market rally in 2026, the initiative remains under review by the Capital Markets Authority: its launch could be postponed if there is a bubble risk to local savings. A textbook case of risk management for African markets. Discover in our carousel how this ETF works, the M-Pesa effect and the outlook, right up to a planned crypto ETF.
