In the review period, the Masi inched upwards by 339.45 points from 15 266.66 points to 15 606.11 points due to an increase in both the Domestic Share Index by 268.85 points from 11 985.58 points to 12 254.44 points and the Foreign Share Index by 16.34 points from 2 308.87 points to 23 25.21 points.

Compared to the previous week, the MSE performance during the review period has decreased in both value terms and volume terms.

Last week, the market transacted a total of 33 million shares at a total consideration of K502 million in 16 deals.

Commenting on the development, one market analyst told Business News it is not surprising that the market is posting good results as listed companies have impressive results since the start of the year.
