    The East African Community's Capital Markets Sub-Committee has met in Kampala for the first time since 2019, bringing together regulators, stock exchanges, and central securities depositories from member states to advance cross-border listing, trading, and settlement frameworks.The EAC's four operational exchanges, the NSE, RSE, DSE, and USE, collectively list 110 companies, with Kenya's NSE accounting for 62. The sub-committee endorsed revised terms of reference and agreed on a regional business requirements framework to guide technical integration work.The revival comes as the EAC targets a single currency by 2031, with the Monetary Affairs Committee projecting regional growth of 5.2 percent in 2026, though no member state has yet met all four primary macroeconomic convergence criteria.

    For salaried workers, tax relief is ultimately measured by what remains on the payslip.The Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) proposes wider PAYE bands taxed at 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%, alongside an increase in monthly personal relief from KSh 2,400 to KSh 3,000.KBA argues the changes would ease the tax burden on salaried workers, increase disposable income and better align the tax system with Kenya’s broader tax-policy objectives.Under the proposed structure, and assuming NSSF, SHIF and the Affordable Housing Levy remain unchanged, workers across the selected salary bands would see higher monthly take-home pay:➠ KSh 30K salary: +KSh 731 a month ➠ KSh 50K: +KSh 3,615 ➠ KSh 80K: +KSh 6,563 ➠ KSh 150K: +KSh 11,241 ➠ KSh 300K: +KSh 18,422At KSh 80,000, monthly take-home would rise from KSh 57,877 to KSh 64,440, equivalent to about KSh 78,760 more a year.

    Consumption is the lifeblood of the real economy. Payslip relief isn't optional, it's essential. That's the case being made by banks, economists, and businesses watching consumer demand slow.Kenyan households spent KSh 8.12 trillion in 2024, spending that keeps businesses running and jobs intact. With Treasury's own CEOs Survey showing companies reporting weak consumer demand, the Kenya Bankers Association argues the fix is direct: its proposed PAYE cut could release KSh28.1 billion into household income, generating a further KSh42 billion in output and supporting roughly 36,000 jobs.The counter-argument is real too. Treasury has cited an estimated KSh35 billion annual revenue gap from the relief, a cost that has to be financed somehow. The question isn't whether consumption matters to growth.
