Foreign investors turned net buyers in the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) in August having purchased shares worth Sh668.4 million, according to market data, reversing a net selling position of Sh2.8 billion in July.

This marks the second positive month of portfolio inflows from foreigners this year –a rare outcome under depressed market conditions which have seen them dump stocks in emerging and frontier markets in favour of safe haven assets.
