Market Performance2 January 2007 - 30 March 2007 Market Indicators:
1st Quarter 2007 Performance Overview Market Indicators: Changes from the Previous Quarter
In the first quarter of 2007, the market underwent a correction. As of May 15 2007, the NSE 20 Share index is down 8.44% since the end of 2006 (a record-breaking year in all respects). • This can be attributed to a variety of factors:- • The January effect and the first quarter seasonality of reduced trading activity, which is caused by investors selling liquid assets to cover the obligations of the new-year; • Speculators taking profits and exiting the market; • Value investors sitting on the sidelines, waiting to pick up equities at more reasonable valuations; • 2006 IPOs brought in a slew of new investors who have never experienced a correction and due to lack of proper education some could be panic selling.

MIT have also supplied similar solutions to the Colombo Stock Exchange and the Stock Exchange of Mauritius; • The NSE trading hours have increased from 2 to 3 hours (10:00 am – 1:00 pm). Besides trading equities, the ATS is also fully capable of trading immobilised corporate bonds and treasury bonds; • 43.82 % of the value of 2006 equity turnover took place after the automation.

Challenges Donald Ouma Manager Research & Policy Analysis May 18 2007
Challenges Product Offering • Increasing the number of issues from the private sector; • Introducing new products onto the Exchange; • Diversifying our revenue streams Becoming more effective as a Self Regulatory Organisation (SRO) • NSE has a huge public profile and visibility which can turn negative. We really are the first line regulator and where there are issues bigger than the NSE then the CMA must take up its mandate.
Future Plans Donald Ouma Manager Research & Policy Analysis May 18 2007
Product Offering • Encouraging private sector issuers to raise capital; • Facilitating regional IPOs – simultaneous raising of capital on NSE, DSE and USE; • Asset backed securities and infrastructure bonds; • Exchange traded funds; • Real Estate Investment Trusts; • Cross listing of the blue chip firms already listed on the NSE, DSE and the USE; • Kenya Airways, East African Breweries and Jubilee Holdings Ltd are currently cross listed on all the 3 securities exchanges; • Leveraging on our upgraded website and ATS to offer data vending services; • Develop a market for medium sized firms; • Progressive review of the regulatory environment.
Changing the Corporate Structure Becoming more effective as a Self Regulatory Organisation (SRO) and being able to raise capital from the market • The NSE wishes to demutualise in 2008; • The Exchange will become a limited liability company with share capital; • The right to access the trading floor of the exchange will be separated from ownership of the exchange – improving corporate governance structures at the NSE; • The NSE has also signed a MoU with the Uganda Securities Exchange will the ultimate intention of proceeding with a merger of the two exchanges to create a regional exchange with trading floors in Kampala and Nairobi.
