The session convened key leaders from across Kenya’s financial, legal, and policy ecosystem to explore bold reforms and strategies to position Nairobi as a future-ready financial center.
Our CEO, David Kimani joined the discussion alongside Daniel Mainda , CEO of NIFC, to contribute perspectives on how technology, regulatory innovation, and new capital market models can unlock growth across fintech and financial services.
Key themes from the forum included:
NIFC’s ambition to drive over $2B in investments into Kenya’s financial services by 2028
The need for a regulatory environment that fosters legal clarity, investor confidence, and fiscal incentives
The role of locally sourced capital and securities infrastructure in financing startups and SMEs
At Afrex, we remain committed to building the infrastructure that supports this vision—simplifying cross-border payments, enabling seamless stablecoin liquidity, and expanding access to finance for underserved markets.
We’re proud to contribute to the conversations shaping Kenya’s financial future.
