    Chairmans Letter

    The African Securities Exchanges Association (ASEA) is pleased to present the first issue of its annual Yearbook, whichserves as a work of reference for African member securities markets, by providing consolidated information on ASEAmembers in a single source.

    Founded in 1993, as a non-profit organization limited by guarantee in Kenya, ASEA aims at establishing systematic

    mutual cooperation, exchange of information as well as harmonization of market standards, to enable its members toattain a greater role in the competitive global market environment.

    Throughout 2005, ASEA Working Committee has worked on reviewing the Memorandum and Articles of Associationto enable the association to function more effectively and provide value to its members, preparing and reviewing ASEAsustainability budgets and investment policy.

    ASEA has also worked on improving information and promotional avenues by upgrading its website with more information

    about the association as well as trading statistics and profiles about member countries. This first issue of ASEA Yearbookwas also developed, to further enhance the level of transparency about the African members.

    Moreover, ASEA is holding annual conferences hosted by one of the members, each year. The 9th ASEA conferencewas hosted by Cairo & Alexandria Stock Exchanges in September 2005, under the theme Accelerating Developmentin African Securities Markets.

    From another perspective, ASEA is trying to coordinate with regional bodies such as the United Nations Economic

    Commission for Africa (UNECA) and the New Partnership for Africa Development (NEPAD), to promote the role of theAfrican securities exchanges in capital mobilization and economic development strategies.

    ASEA has also grown in membership and currently comprises 18 exchanges in 17 African countries. An applicationfor membership from the nascent Bourse des Valeurs Mobilieres de LAfrique Centrale (BVMAC) was recently approvedby ASEA. Other potential members were also approached by ASEA members to give them assistance in setting up

    stock exchanges. These include the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Rwanda, Madagascar and Lesotho.

    To establish a structured approach towards fulfilling ASEA mission and ensure its continuity, the association is in theprocess of developing a 5-year business plan, in cooperation with Kenya Institute of public Policy Research & Analysis

    (KIPRA). Our focus will be on areas of creating awareness and visibility for the region, promoting stronger corporategovernance, holding joint development programs and bilateral visits, supporting African countries in the establishmentof stock exchanges and development of financial products as well as harmonizing markets regulations to pave theway for cross-border listing and facilitate the process of financial integration within the region.

    We will strive to make the association a central reference point for the regional markets, by offering member exchangesguidance in their business strategies.

    Individually, member exchanges continued to work hard to step up global challenges by developing regulations,expanding their services, promoting corporate governance as well as enhancing their operational infrastructure.

    To date, three ASEA members; JSE limited, Cairo & Alexandria Stock Exchanges and Stock Exchange of Mauritius, haveattained the membership status of the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE), reflecting their compliance with internationalstandards and market principles.

    On the trading front, ASEA member markets witnessed an impressive performance in 2005, with positive annualised

    returns on members indices ranging from 146 percent in Cairo & Alexandria Stock Exchanges to 13 percent in theStock exchange of Mauritius. The member markets concluded 2005 with a total of 1468 companies listed on theirboards, recording a total market capitalization of US$ 845 billion; a 28 percent growth over 2004. The gain in returnwas accompanied by higher trading volume and value which leapt by a robust 27 percent and 21 percent to culminateat 72 billion and US$ 250 billion, respectively.

    Finally, I would like to seize this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation and to extend my grateful thanks toall our members for their commitment and contributions. Special thanks are also due to the Secretariat for their efforts

    in maintaining a cohesive organization. I am confident that together we will achieve our worthwhile goals.

    African Securities

    Exchanges AssociationASEA Background

    ASEA is a non-profit company limited by guarantee that was found in Kenya on the 13th of November 1993,

    according to Chapter 486 of the Laws of Kenya, with the aim of establishing systematic mutual cooperation

    and exchange of information among its members.

    The association started with Nairobi Stock Exchange as the first member in 1993, followed by Mauritius, Uganda

    and Dar-es-Salam Stock Exchanges in the nineties. The association is currently represented by 18 regional

    exchanges in 17 countries.

    ASEA Mission Statement

    ASEA provides a forum for mutual communication, exchange of information, cooperation and technologicalassistance among its members, to facilitate the process of financial integration within the region for the effective

    mobilization of capital to accelerate economic development of Africa.

    ASEA supports members in the establishment of Stock Exchanges and the development of financial instruments.

    The association also assists in promoting the development of standards of training and professionalism amongst

    members and other market players, standards of listing, trading and settlement of securities, the products and

    services of Africas capital markets as well as the establishment of a data bank and information system.

    Together with enhancing member exchanges joint programs, the association aims to harmonize standards for

    market principals in the region.

    ASEA Membership

    The membership of the association is open to any Securities Exchange or nascent Stock Exchange located in

    the African region after filling the admission application and getting the Executive Committee approval.

    On 1st August 2005, the ASEA Secretariat received an application for membership from the Bourse des Valuers

    Mobilieres de L' Afrique Centrale (BVMAC), which introduced itself as a private organization owned by some

    of the largest financial institutions and industries of the Central African region. Through the CEMAC (Central

    11/135

    Africa Economic and Monetary Union) Treaty, the six governments of the CEMAC (Cameroon, Congo, Gabon,

    Equatorial Guinea, Chad and Central African Republic), have given BVMAC the exclusive mandate to animate

    and develop a regional stock exchange.

    At the 9th ASEA Executive Committee meeting, the application of the BVMAC to be a member of ASEA wasaccepted, on the condition that the BVMAC kept the ASEA informed of developments and notifies the ASEA

    when the BVMAC is finally incorporated as a regional securities exchange and is operational.

    Exchange, JSE Limited and Cairo & Alexandria Stock Exchanges on the 26th of January 2005, the 13th of May

    2005 and the 10th of September 2005, respectively. The meetings have mainly focused on the following issues:

    Botswana Stock Exchange

    BackgroundThe Botswana Stock Exchange is Botswanas national stock exchange given the responsibility to operate and

    regulate the equities and fixed interest securities market. Formally established in 1989, the BSE continues to be

    pivotal to Botswanas financial system, and in particular the capital market, as an avenue on which government,

    quasi- government and the private sector can raise debt and equity capital. The BSE plays host to the most

    preeminent companies doing business in Botswana. These companies represent a spectrum of industries and

    commerce, from Banking and Financial Services to Wholesaling and Retailing, Tourism and Information Technology.

    The main law which governs all the activities between the Exchange and its members, the proceedings of the

    main Committee and its composition; the relationship between the Minister and the Exchange together with

    the relations between the Registrar, the exchange and members of the exchange is the Botswana Stock Exchange

    Act No 11 of 1994.

    The members have promulgated Rules (Members Rules) which provide for the requirements to be fulfilled forthe securities listed and trading on the Exchange. Members Rules provide as the main objective thereof, to

    operate a Stock Exchange in Botswana with due regard to the public interest, and to maintain fair and efficient

    dealing in securities for the protection of investors and to regulate the affairs of members.

    In addition, the Exchange has a set of Listing Requirements which provide the pre-listing requirements and post

    listing requirements to be observed by the issuers of listed Securities. The emphasis is to make sure issuers disclose

    as much information to the public and investors so that the latter can make informed investment decisions.

    Cairo & Alexandria Stock Exchanges

    Chairmans LetterIn a year of mixed fortunes for markets, CASE has continued to reinforce and improve its position in terms ofbenchmark performance. Our core trading business has performed exceptionally well during a period ofincreasing competition among markets.

    Undoubtedly, 2005 was the most remarkable year for CASE over the past decade. CASE ranked top, compared

    to developed and emerging markets, tracked by Standard & Poors and Morgan Stanley indices. The wellacclaimed magazine Newsweek pointed out that CASE was one of the top and best performing markets inthe world. All CASE main market indicators reached their all time high: market capitalization soared to $80billion almost 110 percent higher than 2004, value traded increased sharply to $28 billion around 310 percentmore than 2004, market capitalization as a percent of GDP exceeded 75 percent etc. The domestic markethas seen significant growth in equities trading, which was mainly fuelled by the active participation of internationaland retail customers.

    Our vision is to be the Exchange of Choice in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region and as suchwe will spare no efforts to better serve our customers.

    This year, we have worked on building and renewing our critical regulatory and infra structural platforms. Ourcommitment to develop a quality marketplace is indisputable. In line with our annual efforts, we released a setof new rules i.e. margin trading, intraday trading and some amendments in the listing rules. These measures wereaimed at raising the responsibilities of intermediaries and facilitating mergers and acquisitions among issuers.

    These changes are important in continually improving the robustness of our marketplace. Furthermore, we havecemented our leadership in technology and driven ahead with an agreement with one of the key technologyexchange companies worldwide, OMX Group, to establish a joint venture company in Cairo that will betterserve the Egyptian, Middle Eastern and African capital markets.

    In the coming year, we plan to introduce new products such as Exchange Traded Funds. We will also be exploringnew structured products and distribution channels for greater retail penetration. Furthermore, CASE will focus

    its coming efforts on encouraging new domestic and regional listings. By constructing a market of quality listedcompanies, we are in a position to greatly advance the reforms of the Egyptian economy. Moreover, CASE

    Cairo & Alexandria Stock Exchanges

  • 7/30/2019 2005 ASEA Yearbook.pdf

    43/135

    will continue its educational programs in collaboration with various universities in Egypt in order to enhanceinvestor education.

    Year 2005 witnessed the passing of several important economic laws by the Egyptian government, whichconfirmed the governments commitment to reform and impacted positively on the activity and turnover of CASE.

    In its drive to be the major player in the MENA region, CASE also strives to be recognized globally. Consequently,CASE was the first Arab Exchange to be a member of the World Federation of Exchanges in 2005, whichconfirms the compliance of CASE to international standards.

    BackgroundThe history of Cairo and Alexandria stock exchanges can be traced to the19th century, when the merchantsof Alexandria used to meet in coffee houses to cut their deals, then found the urge to establish the AlexandriaBourse in 1883, to be one of the oldest among the Middle East stock markets, followed by the Cairo StockExchange in 1903 with 97 listed companies at an aggregate capital of LE 29 million, which jumped to 228listed companies in 1907 with a combined capital of LE 91 million.

    Both Cairo and Alexandria Stock exchanges merged and managed to outperform throughout the 1940s andthe early 1950s, to the extent that they ranked fifth among the world exchanges. Twenty-one brokerage firmswere on hand to take care of this swelling trading.

    Following the socialist regime and the nationalization policy adopted by the government in the early 1960s,the role of Egypts private sector has diminished and likewise the activities of the Cairo and Alexandria StockExchanges (CASE). Only 9 companies were listed on the market during 3 decades, nevertheless the Exchangewas never shut down.

    In consistency with Egypts new era of economic reform and restructuring undertaken in 1991, the role of Cairoand Alexandria Stock Exchanges was re-activated in 1992, with the issuance of the Capital Market Law no.95of 1992, issued by the Capital Market Authority (CMA), which laid the regulatory framework for the financialintermediaries; brokers, fund management firms, venture-capital firms, underwriters, investment banks..etc. Duringthis year, 656 companies were listed and available on the trading floor.

    One automated trading system was to link both Exchanges in 1994, which facilitated the implementation of theprivatization program that had started in the same year leading to another push in the revival of the EgyptianStock Market. A number of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) of the state-owned companies were executed throughCairo and Alexandria Stock Exchanges.

    Starting 1997, as the importance of the Stock Exchange was established - as a gateway for companies to raisecapital and for investors to share in companies profits the number of issued and listed shares kept on increasing,

    which attracted both retail and institutional investors to the market, leading to higher trading volumes.

    It is worth mentioning that starting1997 and pursuant to Presidential Decree no. 51 for 1997, both stock exchangeswere managed by the same Chairman and Board of Directors. The Chairman is appointed by the Prime Minister,whereas the Board of Directors are elected from the market participants, representatives of the Capital MarketAuthority, the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) and the banking sector.

    Latest AchievementsIn view of the Exchange's vision to become the main gateway for investment in the MENA region, CASEundertook an ambitious plan to develop its technology, regulations, information dissemination, public awarenessand products development.

    a) Technological Development

    Having recognized technology, as one of the key foundations in the capital market, CASE spared no efforts inupgrading its technology platform and infrastructure to accommodate new features and products.

    In 2005, CASE has upgraded the capacity of the trading system to meet the surge in turnover and activityand the corresponding increase in number of transactions and volume trading. Accordingly, the capacity ofthe system was enlarged to accommodate more than 100,000 transactions per day.

    Year 2005 has also witnessed the linking of the trading system of CASE with the clearing system of the MCDR,to provide a Straight through Processing environment. The new system ensures investor protection as it guaranteesthe availability of the securities before effecting selling transactions (the correct or the wrongly executed ones),which in turn ensures timely and proper settlement, on one hand and a reduction in the number of cancelledtransactions, on the other.

    In order to accomodate the extensive implementation of the privatization program undertaken by the Egyptian

    government, CASE has recently designed and developed a special program for the OPR market that accommodatesand compiles IPO and private placements orders before execution in the market. This program facilitates ordersregistrations and cancellations, ensures accurate calculations of the allocation percentages and smoothes thedealing with the large number of transactions related to the offerings.

    From another perspective, CASE is currently working on building a Disaster Recovery Site in Alexandria StockExchange to act as the back-up system in case of any unexpected failure in the main trading system locatedin Cairo Stock Exchange premises.

    Moreover, a new coding program is currently under prepartion to enable brokerage firms to register their newclients from their offices.

    51/135

    Finally, the Exchange is planning to upgrade its backbone network in order to enhance its trading infrastructure,with support from its new partner; OMX Group.

    b) Regulatory Development

    Year 2005 witnessed the issuance and amendments of some rules and regulations covering a number of toolsand mechanisms introduced by CASE to the market. These include amendments to the Listing rules to accommodatenew offerings, mergers and acquisitions undertaken under the privatization program, formulation of the Intra-day Trading rules (which became operative in October 2005) and finalizing the executive regulation of themargin trading rules. CASE has also finalized online trading (e-trading) rules, pending the Capital MarketAuthority (Regulator) approval for implementation.

    c) Information Dissemination

    In order to increase the level of transparency and improve the quality of information in the market, CASE hasre-launched its website in September 2005, providing the most recent market statistics with only 15 minutesdelay, together with a wealth of information about CASE rules and regulations, member firms, up-to-date news,education corner as well as information services.

    Moreover, through its subsidiary (EGID), CASE ensures a proper dissemination of information to market participants

    and data vendors.

    Its worth mentioning that in October 2005, the Minister of Investment and Chairman of the Board of Trusteesof Egypt Institute of Directors approved the release of Egypt's Code of Corporate Governance, conformingto OECD principles, which would be adopted by companies listed on CASE, financial institutions and largenon-traded family members and would further enhance the level of transparency in the Egyptian market.

    d) Public Awareness

    Within the framework of its investor education and public awareness campaign, CASE held Borsa Step X StepForum and Exhibition, which targeted this year students in the different universities in Egypt.

    ASEA Yearbook 2005

    49

  • 7/30/2019 2005 ASEA Yearbook.pdf

    52/135

    The Forum offered interactive sessions in order to educate students about the basics and fundamentals ofinvestment and trading in the stock market.

    It is worth mentioning that throughout 2005, Borsa Step x Step was held in Ain Shams University in April 2005,Cairo University in July 2005, the Canadian University and the German University (GUC) in November 2005.

    Moreover, Borsa Step X Step has moved to Egypt's Governorates, starting with Mansoura University, wherethe forum was held over the period (20 - 24 November 2005).

    The Forum will be continued at the American University (AUC), Mansoura University, Ain Shams University andCairo University in 2006. It is expected that the forum will be also held in other governorates.

    CASE has also conducted road shows in the Gulf region to promote the Egyptian market and encouragereputable blue chip companies to come and list on CASE.

    A workshop defining the concept of Islamic Finance, how Islamic methods are integrating into global capitalmarkets, was conducted jointly between CASE, HSBC Egypt and HSBC Amanah in July 2005. This workshopwas attended by bankers, investment bankers, asset & portfolio managers in Egypt, as well as senior stockexchange management.

    Finally, CASE has concluded a joint project with Egypts Post Office to launch a new mutual fund that invests

    in the stock market in order to attract the savings of small investors into the market. In this respect, CASE hasconducted educational courses about the basics of investment and financial instruments available in the capitalmarket, for the Post Office officials amd employees.

    e) International Alliances

    CASE became a member of WFE (World Federation of Exchanges) in November 2005, making it the first Arabcountry to enjoy this status at the WFE, which in turn reflects the compliance of the Egyptian Stock Exchange

    to international standards recognized by financial institutions and regulatory bodies in different markets.

    The WFE currently consists of 57 member exchanges from different regions, representing almost 97percent ofthe world market capitalization.

    On the regional front, CASE was elected to preside over the African Stock Exchanges Association (ASEA),which consists of 18 African Stock Exchanges members. The elections took place at the end of ASEA 9th

    conference, which was held in Cairo mid September 2005.

    Moreover, CASE is an active member of the Federation of Euro-Asian Stock Exchanges (FEAS) and the Unionof Arab Stock Exchanges.

    On 18 January 2006, CASE and Borsa Italiana signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enhance theactivities of intermediaries and investors in both the Egyptian and Italian markets. The two Exchanges will consultand cooperate on issues of mutual interest such as market regulation, investor education, market efficiency and

    training programs. The two Exchanges also agreed to share information on the principles of corporate governancefor listed companies and on listing criteria, market surveillance, electronic platforms and statistics.

    The Exchange has also signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with various stock exchanges includingKorea, Hong Kong, London, Madrid, Nigeria, Johannesburg, Kuala Lumpur, Malta, China, Thesssaloniki andNational Stock Exchange of India, in addition to joint cooperation agreements with most of the Arab StockExchanges including Kuwait, Lebanon, Jordan, Bahrain, Oman and Sudan.

    55/135

    BackgroundOn 7 November 1929, the Casablanca Stock Exchange held its first trading session. In the course of its 77-

    year history, the institution has undergone three major reforms. Under the first, in 1948, the Securities exchange

    acquired legal personality. The second, in 1967, involved a legal and technical reorganization, and a change

    in legal status to that of a public establishment. The third was initiated in 1993, and amended and supplemented

    in 1996. This reform defined the various market players, and introduced a range of rules and technical procedures

    needed for the development of the Moroccan financial market.

    In March 1997, the Stock Exchange has launched the electronic-based trading system followed by the central

    securities depository Maroclear in 1998. In end of the same year the Central Market and Block-Trade Market

    replaced the Official Market and Direct Transfer Market. Another milestone was in May 2001 when the

    settlement period for market transactions was reduced from T+5 to T+3. The new indices of the Casablanca

    Stock Exchange: MASI, MADEX, as well as sector indices, return indices and currency indices were all launched

    in the beginning of year 2002, while during 2004, the Exchange has adopted the float-weighted market

    capitalization method for calculating indices.

    Dar Es Salaam Stock Exchange

  • 7/30/2019 2005 ASEA Yearbook.pdf

    60/135

    Chairmans LetterDar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE) is one of the youngest stock exchanges in Africa. The DSE was established

    in 1996 through the Government of Tanzania initiatives, to facilitate among other things, the privatization exercise

    being implemented by the Government. Today DSE is eight years old. The listings have increased from two

    in 1998 when the DSE started operations to eight, which includes two cross-listings from Nairobi Stock Exchange

    (NSE). A lot of efforts have been made to achieve what we see at the DSE today. These efforts include public

    awareness programmes, market development initiatives such as identifying potential companies and theirsensitization to list at the DSE and cross border listings and linkage of the markets in the East African region

    as well as in the SADC area. The above efforts have facilitated the harmonization of rules and regulations as

    well as cross listings. So far, there are two companies which are cross listed in the East African Markets. The

    two companies are listed at the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) as their primary listing market and in Uganda

    Securities Exchange (USE) as well as at the DSE. The two companies are Kenya Airways and East African

    Breweries Ltd. Several other companies are in the process of obtaining cross listings in all the three markets.

    The cross-listings in an indication of the commitment by East African Securities Exchanges, to integrate their

    markets.

    As ASEA seeks to consolidate the information on all ASEA members, the inclusion of the DSE data on the ASEA

    fact book will provide the needed information on the African Stock Exchanges so that investors may have a

    single source of information pertaining to all African markets in a single source.

    We, at the DSE, are committed to providing an update on our activities as and when required so that the fact

    book is continuously updated. It is our hope that the enclosed facts on the DSE will provide the starting pointof the preparation of ASEA fact book and the step towards the provision of necessary information on the African

    Stock Exchanges to the wide investor base across the globe.

    We wish ASEA all the best in this endeavor.

    61/135

    BackgroundThe Dar Es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE) was incorporated in September 1996 as a private company limited

    by guarantee and not having a share capital under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 212). The DSE is therefore

    a non-profit making body created to facilitate the Government implementation of the economic reforms and

    in future to encourage the wider share ownership of privatized and all the companies in Tanzania and facilitate

    raising of medium and log-term capital.

    The formation of the DSE followed the enactment of the Capital Markets and Securities Act, 1994 and the

    establishment of the Capital Markets and Securities Authority (CMSA), the industry regulatory body charged

    with the mandate of promoting conditions for the development of capital markets in Tanzania and regulating

    the industry. The governing organ of the DSE is the Council of the Exchange, which consists of 10 members

    representing various interest groups in the society.

    Trading activities at the DSE commenced on 15 April 1998 after two years of background preparatory work

    under the stewardship of the Government through the Capital Markets and Securities Authority. The openingof the Trading Floor coincided with the listing of TOL Limited as the first company on the new Exchange.

    The Exchange is open for 5 days in a week. The trading days are currently four days in the week, Tuesdays,

    Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Trading takes place between 10-11 am. The securities currently being

    traded are ordinary shares of eight companies, six corporate bonds and ten Government of Tanzania bonds.

    The DSE membership consists of Licenced Dealing Members (LDMs) and Associate Members. LDMs are allowed

    access to the trading floor. Associate members are institutions and companies which support the DSE.

    JSE Limited

  • 7/30/2019 2005 ASEA Yearbook.pdf

    64/135

    Chairmans LetterIn the over one hundred years since its establishment, the JSE remains the economic crucible of South Africa

    and a vital contributor to wealth creation on the African continent. Despite this, we understand the importance

    of constantly evolving to remain relevant to stakeholders.

    We recognise that our relevance is entirely dependent on the JSEs ability to uphold state-of-the-art standards

    and to run a low cost, highly efficient market offering a wide, superior range of financial products and servicesthat attract both local and international capital flows to invest in South African markets.

    Our exposure to both local and international market practices has allowed us to constantly innovate for the

    benefit of our issuers and investors, whilst still exercising prudence in the way we manage our business. It is

    these lessons and experiences that we would hope to share with our African neighbours as they develop their

    financial markets.

    Today, the JSE Limited remains heavily focused on its core business of offering the issuer and investor a trulyfirst world trading environment, with world class technology, surveillance and settlement in an emerging market

    context. However we realize the ever-increasing role that we will need to play in educating existing and new

    investors about the opportunities that abound on the exchange. It is these exciting opportunities that continue

    to propel us forward.

    65/135

    BackgroundIn a humble miners tent on the 8 November 1887, a mere year after the feverish cries of gold rang through

    the Witwatersrand, the JSE was born. It created an economic crucible in the heart of an infant Johannesburg

    and, in the hundred years since then, this has not changed, despite constantly evolving to remain relevant to

    stakeholders.

    It wasnt long after opening the trading floor in 1887, that dealing overflowed from the market hall where theJSE was housed, into Simmonds Street, leading to a decree by the Mining Commissioner that the area between

    Market Street and Commissioner Street be chained off to keep out horse-driven traffic. This became the historic

    "between the chains" area. Subsequently the exchange moved to Diagonal Street where trading took place

    manually using a system of open outcry.

    Now housed in a new state-of-the-art building in Sandton, the JSE has emerged as a technological and innovative

    exchange, on par with its international counterparts, concerned with satisfying stakeholder needs as efficiently

    and cost effectively as possible. Today, the JSE Limited offers the investor a truly first world trading environment,with world class technology, surveillance and settlement in an emerging market context. It is the 17th largest

    equities exchange in the world, with a total market capitalization of some R3.2 trillion. With approximately 400

    listed companies and a market liquidity of 36 percent, the JSE is marginally smaller than Stockholm and larger

    than 9 markets classified as Developed.

    Latest AchievementsThe JSEs relevance is entirely dependent on its ability to uphold state-of-the-art standards and to run a low

    cost, highly efficient market offering a wide, superior range of financial products and services that attract both

    local and international capital flows to invest in South African markets. One of the largest of the exchanges

    initiatives to reduce costs and improve services to its stakeholders, is Project Orion.

    Project Orion is an ambitious IT project aimed at transforming the JSEs legacy systems to the latest technologyis currently underway and will make the exchange even more attractive to investors.

    Broadening the investor base and bringing economic prosperity and, as a result, social growth and development

    to Africa are two of the JSEs main goals. It is an African Exchange dedicated to assisting existing exchanges

    on the rest of the continent and working towards a Pan-African Board.

    Project Thusanang, meaning: Let us help each other, is a JSE initiative aimed at growing the economies of

    Southern Africa and the African continent. It will provide a hub of opportunity for investors who will be ableto access quality investments across Africa using the JSEs trading technology. As a national institution that assists

    in enriching the South African and African economies, the JSE recognises that in order to be a catalyst for

    change and prosperity, it needs to drive the process. The JSE is an exchange concerned with remaining relevant

    to all its stakeholders - providing opportunities for the fulfilment of financial hopes, from small investors to listed

    companies as well as research material for the investor community through the provision of data services.

    Recognising that innovation is key to meeting the needs of its investors and other stakeholders, this recentlydemutualised public company, has developed several innovative services and products, including the Socially

    Responsible Investment Index, AltX, YieldX, Itrix and Satrix.

    The JSE Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) Index was established in 2003 to further the principles of good

    business practice as outlined in the King II Report on Corporate Governance as well as the importance of triple

    bottom-line sustainability espoused at the World Summit on Sustainable Development held in Johannesburg

    in 2002. The SRI Index - the first such index in an emerging market - encourages and acknowledges companies

    that care about people, planet and prosperity. It is hoped that the Index will lead to a premium rating forcompanies that are included in it as investors assess the behaviour of the companies in which they invest.

    AltX, the Alternative Exchange which recently celebrated its 2nd birthday, has a market cap of R1, 8 billion

    and is a joint initiative of the Department of Trade and Industry and the JSE. The creation of this exchange is

    an echo of the JSEs concern for the success and sustainability of organisations at all levels in South Africa and

    comes from the realisation that in a developing economy, small companies need a place to go. AltX, which

    has successfully listed a total of 16 companies to date, has proved intensely attractive to investors interested in

    the growth potential of smaller companies, as it lacks the wild volatility of share movements that typically markthe small to mid-cap sector. The small-to-medium-sized-companies market allows a business culture of flexibility

    to thrive. It is an investment friendly, well-connected supplier of choice that is excellently positioned in Africa

    and very quickly becoming a recognised and respected local and international brand.

    Yield-X launched in 2005 is dedicated to trading a wide range of interest rate products. Yield-X makes it simpler,

    cheaper and more transparent for investors to trade in interest rate products and so makes this market highly

    attractive to prospective and existing investors. Yield-X represents the second development of the JSEs plans

    to expand their existing derivatives markets and offer more instruments to fulfil investor needs and demands.It follows the successful development of the Single Stock Futures market, a market that is now the fourth largest

    in the world, trading 135 futures and comprising 73 percent of the derivatives traded on the exchange.

    Itrix, also launched in 2005, is an entirely new series of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that paves the way for

    South African investors to invest in a portfolio of offshore listed companies through the local market. Itrix tracks

    the performance of major international benchmark indices. Two Itrix ETFs were listed first - tracking the FTSE100 and Dow Jones Euro Stoxx 50 - with another two - tracking the performance of major US and Eastern

    indices - planned for listing in 2006. Itrix is a joint initiative between the JSE and Deutsche Bank who regard

    the new ETF as one of the most exciting opportunities for South Africans to gain offshore investment exposure

    to come about in many years.

    Satrix is a series of three index tracker funds that are listed and traded on the JSE Limited. It is also part of

    an effort by the JSE to broaden their investor base in order to better encompass a consumer market. The

    advantage of Satrix is that it allows investors to own the performance of the JSEs top companies with a singletransaction and receive an excellent return at a very affordable price.

    Chairmans LetterAs we look at the first 10 years of our nascent market, we note very exciting developments which the Lusaka

    Stock Exchange has been experiencing, that are illustrated into details in the achievements part.

    As we look to the next 10 years of the Exchange, we foresee LuSE playing a central role in the economy as

    the premier long term capital raising mechanism of choice and core driver of economic activity. The quoted

    tier is being restructured to allow medium sized growth companies to access cheaper long term capital and

    also provide an exit and market valuation mechanism for venture capitalists.

    Our intended link into the JSE will make our market more visible to the prying eyes of emerging market investors.

    We are looking at unlocking the potential that lies in our bond market for both corporate and Treasury bonds.

    Most of these initiatives are ably tackled under the national Financial Sector Development Plan which is a five

    year plan for the development and rationalization of the overall financial sector.

    BackgroundThe Lusaka Stock Exchange (LuSE) was established in 1993 and started formal operations on 21 February, 1994.

    The stock exchange was setup with initial financial and technical support from the World Bank/IFC, UNDP and

    the Government of the Republic of Zambia as a capital market development project. LuSE was incorporated

    as a private not-for-profit limited liability company owned by the Member Brokers.

    LuSE was setup to provide access to cheaper long term capital for the private sector as Government moved

    away from conducting business to facilitating its
