Three quarters of all trades executed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) last year were channelled through the staff of stockbrokers, underlining the role of the market intermediaries even as digitisation allows investors to fully execute trades online.
Only 24.76 percent of the value of all trades on the Nairobi bourse were conducted exclusively online in 2025 according to data from the NSE implying that more than three quarters of transactions went through market intermediaries.
