EAC Advances Capital Markets Integration for Monetary Union

The East African Community (EAC) is taking significant steps to accelerate the integration of regional capital markets as part of preparations for the East African Monetary Union. This commitment was articulated during a three-day meeting of the Capital Markets Sub-Committee, which took place from 15th to 17th September 2026.

The meeting convened Chief Executive Officers and senior technical representatives from various entities, including Securities Exchanges, Capital Markets and Securities Regulatory Authorities, and Central Securities Depositories across the EAC Partner States. The initiative aims to enhance collaboration and streamline processes within the region's financial markets, thereby fostering economic growth and stability in anticipation of the monetary union.
