| Bond trading rivals for Nairobi Securities Exchange
June 25, 2024--The Central Bank of Kenya's DhowCSD, a digital government bond trading platform, has reached a milestone of 80,000 investors, according to a report in Business Daily today (25 June). DhowCSD went live on 31 July 2023 and is designed to boost efficiency of investing in Treasury Bills and Treasury Bonds. |
| CBK Governor, Dr. Kamau Thugge told Business Daily: "When we went live with DhowCSD, we had 40,000 accounts. Today, that number is somewhere between 80,000 and 90,000. In less than a year, the number of accounts has doubled. DhowCSD has brought convenience; previously, it would have been intimidating to go to the CBK for someone who doesn’t know where to start." |
