The Nairobi Securities Exchange is planning to launch East Africa's first AI-themed ETF, marking another product innovation push following the bourse's second ETF listing in July 2025. The initiative comes from its 2025-2029 strategic framework, which targets 50 diversified funds and names AI and blockchain as technology directions for financial products. Kenya's government is also advancing a national AI strategy for 2025-2030. Data shows investor wealth on the exchange grew by more than 1 trillion Kenyan shillings in the first seven months of 2026, with total market capitalization approaching 4 trillion shillings.
