The Rwanda Stock Exchange Share Index (RSI) shed 2.34 points, yesterday, from 239.01 points on Monday to 236.68 points, driven by the decline of Bralirwa share price.

The brewer’s counter traded at Rwf296 yesterday, from Rwf390 on Monday, a statement from the stock market indicates.

However, Bralirwa was the only active counter yesterday, trading 6,800 shares worth Rwf2.6 million in three deals. This was an improvement from Rwf195,000 turnover realised on Monday.

The counter also received outstanding offers of 122,900 shares at between Rwf380 and Rwf410 and bids for 45,000 shares at Rwf365.

Bank of Kigali, on the other hand, received outstanding offers of 160,800 shares at between Rwf296 and Rwf305 and a bid for 2,400 shares at Rwf292 each.

On the Kenya Commercial Bank Group counter, there was a bid for 100 shares at Rwf180, while Uchumi Supermarkets Limited got an offer of 6,500 shares at Rwf104 each.

It was yet another quiet day on the fixed income securities segment endured at the bourse, with bids for 500,000 bonds, of the five year Rwf15 billion Treasury bond issued in August last year, at Rwf100 each.
