Four markets. One disciplined investor view.
Compare the regional signal, then open each market's country, company, ETF and financial-condition evidence. Every reading keeps its own source and clock.
01 · Cross-market signal

Comparable growth of 100 before the DSEI reset
A reading of 140 means the local-currency price index is 40% above its comparable starting level.
DSEI uses verified DSE history; regional lines use licensed Mansa data and NASI is reconciled to CBK. The comparison ends in July 2026, before DSEI's 26 Aug 2026 basis break.
Current headline availability
Only exact verified observations appear as current levels. Retained history stays in the comparison without being relabelled as current.
DSEI basis reset: The level from 26 Aug 2026 uses a new basis following NMB Bank's one-for-ten share subdivision. It is not a market return from the previous DSEI level.

02 · Rates and prices
Three readings behind the regional return story.
Inflation shares one July 2026 reference month. Treasury bills and bonds show each market's latest verified auction, with dates and instrument definitions left visible.
Headline inflation
What changedInflation accelerated in all four markets. The largest monthly step was RW at +1.2 percentage points. Country changes: TZ +0.1pp, KE +0.1pp, UG +0.1pp, RW +1.2pp.
Why this matters to investorsFor residents, businesses and diaspora supporting households, inflation is a purchasing-power and margin signal. Compare it with income growth and local asset returns before treating a nominal gain as a real gain.
91-day Treasury bills
What changedThis edition establishes the latest verified 91-day auction level. A prior like-for-like auction is not retained for all four markets, so direction remains unavailable rather than inferred.
Why this matters to investorsFor savers and prospective investors, the 91-day yield frames the opportunity cost of cash. Taxes, market access and currency movement can materially change the return received by a diaspora or cross-border investor.
10-year Treasury bonds
What changedThis is a current yield map, not a like-for-like movement ranking. Prior designated issues and remaining maturities differ, so direction remains unavailable rather than inferred.
Why this matters to investorsFor long-horizon investors, these yields frame sovereign funding conditions and local-currency hurdle rates. They are not interchangeable because remaining maturity, coupon, tax and foreign-exchange exposure differ.
Source dated, with no carry-forward. One 0% to 16% visual scale is used for three different measures. Bill conventions and auction dates remain independent. Bond reopenings retain their actual redemption dates, including Kenya's May 2032 maturity. Sources checked 13 Sep 2026. Inspect all 12 official source bindings.
