The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) increased its investment in Eurobonds nearly five times to Sh34.3 billion in the year to June 2025 from Sh7.17 billion a year earlier, deepening the fund's efforts to diversify its portfolio from the traditional bonds, equities and property assets.

This 378.3 percent rise was the highest among the 12 major asset classes to which the State-controlled NSSF is exposed, ahead of offshore and private equity investments, which rose 145 percent and 120.7 percent to Sh2.6 billion and Sh7.3 billion respectively.
