Dar es Salaam. Festive activity across Dar es Salaam did not slow trading at the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE), which staged a strong festive rally that added Sh350 billion to the bourse’s total market capitalisation.

The market rose from Sh23.2 trillion on December 19 to Sh23.55 trillion by the close of trading on Christmas Eve, reflecting renewed investor confidence during a period that typically sees reduced activity.
