Half-year results from several Nairobi Securities Exchange-listed companies show continued resilience in the banking sector, even as manufacturing and consumer goods firms report margin pressure from input costs.
Sector Highlights
- Banking: steady growth in net interest income across major lenders
- Manufacturing: margin compression linked to input and energy costs
- Telecoms: continued growth in mobile money transaction volumes
Analysts covering the exchange say the divergence reflects broader economic conditions where financial services continue to benefit from digital transaction growth while manufacturers face tighter cost environments.
