The Mwango Weekly – 27th October 2025

This week’s Mwango Weekly explores the East Africa Capital Markets Conference in Uganda, where leaders unveiled the EAE20 Share Index and set a path toward regional integration through digital and sustainable finance. We also cover KenGen’s midnight results leak that briefly shook trading, and the Central Bank of Kenya’s second domestic bond buyback aimed at easing refinancing pressures. In markets, the NSE posted solid gains, bond turnover surged, and Eurobond yields eased. Other highlights include EABL’s new KES 20B bond program, Kenya’s draft Sovereign Wealth Fund Bill, FATF review updates, court rulings on the Lamu coal plant, and major corporate moves including Absa Uganda’s acquisition of StanChart’s retail business and Coca-Cola’s $3.4B bottling deal.
