External Factors Pressure Agricultural Stocks on Nairobi Securities Exchange
What happened
Agricultural stocks are projected to continue underperforming at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, as investors tend to favor liquid counters not affected by uncontrollable factors like weather. External pressures, including local currency fluctuation, economic downturns in export markets, and high input costs, are impacting the profits and dividends of agricultural firms in Kenya. Separately, experts noted that environmental policies in Africa are hindered by poor coordination and a lack of accessible data.
