Nairobi September 26, 2014 NAIROBI SECURITIES EXCHANGE LAUNCHES NEW BOND SYSTEM

Nairobi September 26, 2014 Today, the Nairobi Securities Exchange launched a new system for trading corporate bonds and Government of Kenya Treasury Bonds. The system is supplied by Securities Trading & Technology Pty (STT), who are a South African financial software development company. The STT bond system is currently in use by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) which has the most liquid bond market in Africa. The new system will allow on-line trading of debt securities. The new system with report both over the counter and on exchange transactions through a centralized reporting system. It will report prices of securities by yield. It will be much easier for the investor to compare the pricing of debt securities. Decision making will be faster and this should spur further liquidity in the bond market. The system will also allow trading in bonds of different currencies. Other features of the new system that present enormous opportunities in the bonds market include; the ability to support market making, a two (2) way quote trading system, ability to integrate with regulators’ surveillance systems and ability to report transactions that are concluded over the counter for purposes of settlement. In enhancing the bond trading system, the Exchange acknowledges the vital role that a vibrant secondary market for bonds continues to play in raising long term capital for the National Government and corporate entities. The County Governments can also use the same system to raise capital through issuing and listing County Bonds. In making the announcement, Mr. Peter Mwangi, Chief Executive of the Nairobi Securities Exchange noted, ‘ On the first full day of using the system, the value of bonds traded on the NSE was Kshs.XYZ. This is a significant step towards the Exchange’s resolve of ensuring that the secondary market becomes more transparent and the price discovery mechanism is beyond reproach. The multicurrency trading functionality of the new system means that foreign denominated bonds can be traded. With this development, we look forward to the listing of the Government of Kenya Sovereign Bond at the Exchange and the trading of new products such as Derivatives.” -ENDS-

NOTES TO THE EDITOR: In August 2014, the Nairobi Securities Exchange advanced the trading and settlement of Government of Kenya treasury bonds increasing the number of settlements done in a day to three (3). Before this, settlement took place only at market closure at 3:00pm. It now also takes place at a.m. and 1.00 p.m. Investors can now buy a treasury bond and sell it on the same day. The Exchange is working with the Central Depository and Settlement Corporation (CDSC), the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) to extend this facility to corporate bonds.
