The Kenyan Wall Street to Host Inaugural Bullish Kenya event on the Sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York City

NEW YORK CITY, 22 September 2025: The Kenyan Wall Street, the flagship publication of Wall Street Africa Group, will host an exclusive “Bullish Kenya” event in New York, USA, on Thursday, 25th September 2025 on the  sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

This year’s Bullish Kenya is a highly-exclusive gathering of 80 top decision makers in the business and banking sectors from both Kenya and the United States. This invite-only event will support Kenya’s mission to be Africa’s leading investment and business destination by bringing together Kenya’s decision makers from the private and public sectors, and global institutional investors in an evening of conversation, insights, and opportunity.

Among high-ranking Kenyan leaders who have confirmed attendance is His Excellency Dr. William Samoei Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya. Others include Dr. A. Korir Sing’oei, Principal Secretary, Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs; John Mwendwa, CEO of KenInvest; Dr. Peter Ndegwa, CEO, Safaricom PLC; Joe Sang, CEO Kenya Pipeline; and Paul Russo, CEO of KCB Group PLC.  

Bullish Kenya will provide a unique platform for both public and private sector leaders to showcase investment opportunities to a high-level, global audience. Kenya, East Africa’s leading economy and the regional financial hub, has a vibrant private sector. The 65 listed companies had a market capitalization KSh 2.679 trillion by the end of August 2025, with ongoing plans to privatize and list several government-owned enterprises, starting with Kenya Pipeline Company.

“I believe Nairobi should be the center of Africa’s financial markets, and Bullish Kenya is a bold step in that direction. We look forward to welcoming leading global funds and investment houses from Wall Street as we showcase Kenya’s potential and strengthen the bridge between African opportunities and global capital,” said Erick Asuma, Founder and Chairman of The Kenyan Wall Street and Wall Street Africa Group. 

Wall Street firms that have already confirming attendance at this year’s inaugural event represent capital of over US$7 Trillion in total. They include senior executives from Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan Chase, New York Pension Fund, BNY Mellon, Stifel, Citigroup, Moelis & Co., among many others.

“Bullish Kenya isn’t just another conference or investment promotion event - it’s designed to facilitate the capital markets discussions necessary to make Kenya the Africa’s leading economy. This discussion transcends politics and decisiveness by unifying under the theme of Kenya and the future of Africa’s unstoppable trajectory forward,” said Andrew Barden, Co-Founder and CEO of The Kenyan Wall Street and Wall Street Africa Group.

Bullish Kenya’s strategic partners include the Kenya Investment Authority (KenInvest), the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, and the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). The event is supported by Safaricom Group PLC and KCB Group PLC.
