Botswana: DCI -0.26%, USD 1.0m

There was finally some form of life in Gaborone thanks to some action in Stanchart (1m shares) and Barclays (502k shares).

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.50%, USD 24.7m

A very impressive end to the week in Nairobi, thanks once again to a large cross in Safcom ($12m) as the telco continues to dominate on the turnover front. Foreign demand pushed the name +1.1% higher. There was also some very solid action in KenolKobil ($8m) and EQBNK ($1.9m) while the rest of the market was relatively quiet.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.10%, USD 1.8m

A very active day in Port Louis thanks to some solid action in the usually illiquid GAMMA as 687k shares changed hands in the name. MCBG (+0.10%) reached yet another record high of Rs 255.25 with 54k trading on the day.

Nigeria: ASI +0.04%, USD 19.7m

Another pleasing day on the activity front in Lagos as banking stocks continue to dominate proceedings with action in Zenith ($5.3m), GTB ($4.1m), Access ($2m), DangCem ($1.9m) and Nestle ($1.2m) leading the way. Banking stocks closed slightly higher with the sector gaining +0.31%, but this was solely driven by ETI (+10.23%) as the rest of the tier-1 banks closed lower. Consumers closed +0.01% higher thanks to Nestle (+0.78%).

Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
