These findings contradict the hypothesis by Fisher (1930) who argued that stock returns should be positively related with expected inflation, providing a hedge against rising prices. This study investigated the relationship between inflation and liquidity of the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Liquidity of the stock market is vital if the market is to play a significant role in the development by facilitating mobilization of long-term capital. It shows the immense potential that the Nairobi Securities Exchange may have towards fostering the country's economy .The study's objective is to determine the impact of inflation on the liquidity of Nairobi Securities...

As a method to order transactions in a distributed ledger, blockchains offer a record of consensus with a cryptographic audit trail that can be maintained and validated by multiple nodes. It lets contracting parties dynamically track assets and agreements using a common protocol, thus streamlining and even completely collapsing many in-house and third-party verification processes. Block chain originally conceived as the basis of cryptocurrencies, aspects of blockchain technology have far-reaching potential in finance. Although it promises a secure distributed framework to facilitate sharing, exchanging, and the integration of information across all users and third parties, it is important for stakeholders to analyze it in depth for its suitability in business applications. There is a wide spectrum of blockchain applications ranging from cryptocurrenc...

There is a wide spectrum of blockchain applications ranging from cryptocurrency, financial services, risk management among others, however there is no comprehensive survey on the blockchain as disruptive technology in finance and its application, To fill this gap, we conduct a comprehensive survey on the blockchain technology, its challenges, advances in managing these challenges and the future of block chain technology in the financial industry.
