Investors mint Sh132bn from bond sales in six months
New data from the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) shows the investors sold bonds for Sh1.7 trillion in the half-year period, having acquired them for Sh1.57 trillion.
Investors who sold their Treasury bonds on the secondary market at the Nairobi bourse made a profit of Sh132.7 billion after falling returns on new issuances triggered a surge in prices and demand for older, higher-return papers.
The gains were 30.7 percent higher compared to the Sh101.58 billion profits that bond investors booked at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) in the first half of 2025.
