RETRAK was pleased to convene the NSE–RETRAK Breakfast today at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, bringing together retail sector stakeholders for a practical conversation on governance, financial readiness, fundraising and exit opportunities.
A key highlight was the NSE Fundraising and Exit Opportunities Masterclass, which explored how businesses can leverage capital markets to:
📌 Access diverse pools of local, regional and international capital
📌 Raise long-term funding through equity, bonds, rights issues and other instruments
📌 Strengthen corporate governance and investor confidence
📌 Create structured liquidity and exit opportunities for shareholders
📌 Prepare businesses for sustainable growth and succession
The session also highlighted the Ibuka Programme for SMEs, the NSE Invoice Factoring Platform, the Sustainability Finance Centre of Excellence, and the Unquoted Securities Platform (USP) as solutions and programmes supporting businesses at different stages of their growth journey.
For Kenya’s retail sector, access to appropriate capital, strong governance and investment readiness can play an important role in building resilient and scalable businesses.
RETRAK appreciates the Nairobi Securities Exchange and all members and stakeholders who participated in this important engagement.
Together, we continue to unlock opportunities for a stronger, more resilient retail sector.
