The Renaissance Capital investment bank reduced the minimum investment for Kenyan investors participating in the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals initial public offering (IPO) from Sh107,000 to Sh535. This revision, approved by the Capital Markets Authority, lowered the minimum subscription from 2,000 Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) to 10, with each receipt priced at Sh53.50.
