indicates.
However, while analysts expects increasing activities, last week

“We anticipate the continued presence of foreign investors particularly
taking position in the NMB (national Microfinance Bank) counter, though in
small bits due to the general lack of supply,” TSL said in the report.
TBL will continue to have traction into foreign investors (especially
from East Africans) who are currently allowed to take position into the
counter, the weekly report indicates.
