The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) is seeking to have more women occupy at least a third of senior positions in listed companies in order to reap the benefits of gender parity.
On Wednesday, NSE became the second bourse in the continent after South Africa’s Johannesburg Securities Exchange to join the 30% Club, a global gender equality lobby group.
