Abstract:The trading industry is filled with all kinds of different products, assets, investment vehicles, and alike. But, out of all of them, forex is by far the largest and most liquid. Forex, or foreign exchange, became even bigger during the COVID-19 pandemic which has now been ongoing for over a year and a half.
Brokers started seeing a large increase in demand for forex among individual traders, and they quickly jumped on the opportunity to grant them access to this asset class. This interest in forex surged all over the world, including African countries. In fact, the African capital markets have seen a major expansion since the last decade, partially due to the growing interest from retail investors, and partially due to the moderately steady economies.
South Africa and Kenya have seen the highest interest, judging by the retail trading volume measured over the last five years. Kenyas online forex trading market has particularly impressed, going up by an incredible 80%, which allowed one broker to cement its position and dominance in the country.
