Capital Markets Roundtable for Kenya is an investor and business-driven initiative aimed at reforming the capital markets in the country. With a focus on delivering better returns to the mwanainchi on their savings, increasing access to business funding, and facilitating funding for affordable housing, CMR Kenya is committed to addressing the structural challenges faced by the capital markets. One of the major areas of concern is the difficulty Kenyan businesses face in accessing funding, mainly due to the dominance of banks.

CMR Kenya aims to create opportunities for businesses to access the necessary funds for growth and expansion. Another challenge is the low interest rates offered by the Kenyan banking sector, which negatively affects the income earned on savings. CMR Kenya seeks to address this issue and ensure that individuals receive fair and competitive interest rates on their savings.

Furthermore, CMR Kenya emphasizes the importance of operationalizing the Home Ownership Savings Plan and including Collective Investment Schemes to promote affordable housing. Through their investor and business-driven approach, CMR Kenya is dedicated to bringing about positive changes and driving the transformation of the Kenyan capital markets
