Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) has further cemented its standing in global financial markets following the inclusion of two additional listed companies in the prestigious MSCI Frontier Markets and MSCI Frontier Small Cap Indices.

Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI), a leading provider of global investment decision support services, has announced changes to the composition of these indices, a key benchmark for international investors assessing frontier market performance.

In the latest update, Standard Chartered Bank Kenya Limited has been added to the MSCI Frontier Markets Index, joining an elite group of firms including Safaricom PLC, KCB Group PLC, and East Africa Breweries PLC. This inclusion brings the total number of NSE-listed firms represented in the index to six, reinforcing Kenya’s reputation as a key player in emerging markets.

HF Group PLC has also secured a spot in the MSCI Frontier Markets Small Cap Index, increasing the number of NSE-listed companies in this category to eight. Other firms in this index include British American Tobacco Kenya PLC, Diamond Trust Bank Kenya Limited, and Kenya Reinsurance Corporation Limited.

“This addition, which follows the MSCI January 2025 review, is a strong validation of the improving fundamentals of Kenya’s listed market over the past year—a period during which the NSE emerged as the best-performing stock market in Africa in dollar terms,” the statement read.

Analysts view the latest inclusion as a sign of renewed investor confidence in Kenya’s capital markets, with the presence of top NSE-listed firms in global indices expected to drive increased foreign investments.

As the MSCI Frontier Markets Index continues to be closely monitored by international investors, Kenya’s growing representation underscores the country’s resilience and the potential of its financial markets on the global stage.
