NAIROBI, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) vibrant bonds market has kept investors trading at the bourse as the bear-run at the equities segment remains a turn-off.
Investors at the securities market have shifted to the bonds as prices of various stocks continue to tumble, pushing down key indices that include market capitalization, a measure of the bourse's wealth, and the indicative 20 Share Index.
Bonds turnover, therefore, currently surpasses equities' trading in every session unlike months ago when the long-term securities segment attracted low dealings.
An analysis of data from the NSE showed that an average of 9.9 million U.S. dollars worth of bonds are traded at the bourse every day, up from less than half the amount.
A total of 58 million dollars worth of bonds were transacted at the bourse last week, a slight decline from 64 million dollars the previous week.
At the equities market, according to data from the NSE, weekly trading last week barely hit 12 million dollars, down from 24 million dollars in the week ending Aug. 5.
The NSE equities market is dominated by sensitive foreign investors at 80 percent, who trade mainly on about five counters that are the most liquid which include Safaricom, Kenya Commercial Bank, Equity Bank and East African Breweries Ltd.
Save for Safaricom, most of the stocks in the 20 Share Index have shed their prices, leading to increased foreign investors' sales.
NSE data shows that 44 out of 62 stocks at the Nairobi bourse have recorded a negative return, with equity turnover decreasing 21 percent in July as the number of shares traded fell by 10 percent.
Analysts have noted that investors are getting attracted to bonds due to increased interest rates.
Yields on the bonds trading at the NSE range between 11 and 14 percent, which are even higher than those at the debt market, making the securities attractive.
The yield curve has exhibited an increasing upward trend, especially for one to five years tenure securities.
HANOI, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- Vietnam will have 1,300 supermarkets and more than 300 commercial centers in the next ten years, which will become an important channel for local people to get access to safe food sources, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) on Tuesday.
Le Viet Nga, deputy director of the MoIT's Domestic Market Department, was quoted by the state-run news agency VNA as saying most of food sold at supermarkets have clear origin certificates and are sealed with food safety while those at traditional markets have seen risks.
Currently nearly 70 percent of Vietnam's fresh food is sold at traditional markets.
The development of supermarket networks nationwide would play an important role in developing trade infrastructure to ensure food safety, said Nga, forecasting that modern distribution channels would see strong development in the next five years.
The MoIT's plan was raised in the context that Vietnamese people are concerned about food safety and its risks on health of consumers.
At a seminar on food safety held by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) on Tuesday, Hoang Dinh Chan, director of a local hospital, cited a report by MARD's Plant Protection Department as saying that over 2,000 out of 11,000 national pesticide factories and stores have low-quality products.
Meanwhile, around 2,500 of them violated procedures in using pesticides.
According to Vietnam's Ministry of Health, each year, Vietnam reports some 150,000 new cancer cases while over 75,000 patients die of cancer.
