The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) will host the National SACCO and Capital Markets Forum in Naivasha from November 25 to 27, 2026, bringing together stakeholders to explore investment opportunities and strengthen links between Savings and Credit Cooperative Organisations (SACCOs) and Kenya’s capital markets.
The three-day forum will be held at Lake Naivasha Resort and will bring together participants from the Sacco sector and capital markets to discuss strategies for enhancing investment, governance and financial inclusion.
In an invitation to prospective participants, the NSE said the forum would feature discussions on investment opportunities, Sacco governance, financial inclusion, financial technology (fintech), environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, and the future of Kenya’s capital markets.
“Be part of insightful discussions on investment opportunities, SACCO governance, financial inclusion, fintech innovation, and the future of Kenya’s capital markets,” the exchange said.
The discussions are expected to examine how stronger collaboration between Saccos and capital market institutions can enhance financial inclusion and contribute to the growth of Kenya’s financial sector.
Registration for the forum costs Ksh20,000, excluding Value Added Tax (VAT).

Deposits rose by 11.1 per cent, from Ksh749 billion to Ksh832 billion, while loans issued to members increased by 12.25 per cent, from Ksh845 billion to Ksh949 billion.
