“Another achievement in 2013 was the notable rise in the number of Central Securities Depository

accounts opened with the number of accounts increasing by 13.5% to 20,027 compared to 17,638

in the previous year. This highlights the current growth of Botswana’s equity market and the

continued rise in individual investor interest and participation. This rise is furthermore indicative of

the effectiveness of the BSE’s market development initiatives during the year which strived to garner

as much participation from stakeholders as possible.”

CHAIRPERSON’S STATEMENTDearStakeholders

IamdelightedtoreportontheremarkableperformanceoftheBotswanaStockExchange(BSE)duringtheyear2013.Despitechallengesbothregionallyandglobally,thereisnodoubtthattheBSE’soverallperformancewasaidedbytheimplementationof theAutomatedTrading System in 2012 and the continuedgradualrecoveryoftheeconomyfromtheglobalfinancialcrisisof2008.

It is pleasing to note that in the year under review the BSEregisteredthehighestturnoverlevelssinceitsinceptionin1989,recordingtotalturnoverofBWP2.3billion,orBWP9.3mperday.This is 2.6 times the turnover recorded theprevious year andapproximatelytwicetheturnovergeneratedontheBSEin2008(highestupto2013).

The Domestic Company Index (DCI) reached its highest levelsinceNovember2007,recordingasignificantincreaseof20.5%in2013(thehighestannualappreciationintheDCIsince2007).The BSE successfully launched 3 bond indices in April 2013.These were the; GovI – a government bond index, CorpI – acorporatebondindexandtheBBIwhich isacomposite indexcomprisingbothgovernmentandcorporatebonds.Thebondindices are a welcome development and have provided abenchmarkforportfoliomanagerstoevaluatetheperformanceoftheirbondportfolios.ThelaunchofthesethreebondindicesbeartestamenttotheBSE’scommitmenttoinnovationandthedevelopmentofBotswana’sbondmarket.

The BSE was instrumental in registering the Botswana BondMarketAssociationwiththeRegistrarofSocietiesinSeptember2013.Theobjectivebehindthisinitiativewastocreateaforumfor the discussion of Bond market related issues and moreimportantly, for the BSE to take into account the views ofparticipantsinitsdevelopmentstrategy.

Another achievement in 2013 was the notable rise in thenumber of Central Securities Depository accounts openedwith the number of accounts increasing by 13.5% to 20,027compared to 17,638 in the previous year. This highlights the

currentgrowthofBotswana’sequitymarketandthecontinuedriseinindividualinvestorinterestandparticipation.ThisriseisfurthermoreindicativeoftheeffectivenessoftheBSE’smarketdevelopmentinitiativesduringtheyearwhichstrivedtogarnerasmuchparticipationfromstakeholdersaspossible.

Throughouttheyear,theBSEcontinuedtoundertakeitsmarketdevelopmentoperations,particularlywiththeaimofimprovingthestateoffinancialliteracyinthecountry.Theseactivities,suchasthefar-reachingpresentationstonumerouscompaniesandparastatalsaroundthecountry,newspaperarticlesandnationalradio and television programme features; have continued tostimulateparticipation inBSE listed investmentsbyBatswana.Severalon-on-onemeetingswithprivatecompanieswerealsoconducted during the year to inform them about the listingprocess and also to communicate the benefits that could begainedbylistingontheBSE.

“All in all, 2013 has been the best year, to date. A year in which the BSE has been propelled to ‘new

heights’ in more ways than one. The strides made in 2013 are just a miniscule realization of the

latent potential that exists for the development of the capital market in Botswana. The challenge in

front of all stakeholders is how to create momentum to sustain this change. Technology is only part

of the equation. The rest involves a change in thinking on the part of all stakeholders.”

CEO’S REVIEW

Botswana is a country that is richly blessed with numerouscomparativeadvantages.Ithasrichendowmentsindiamonds,minerals and other resources that are indispensable to thegrowthoftheglobaleconomy.Thecountry’swildliferesourcesand its diversity has made it a much sought after touristdestination.SomehavereferredtoBotswanaas“thelastEden”.Thisistrueinmorewaysthanone.

Botswana also has many competitive advantages that it hascreatedforitself;astableeconomy,astablepoliticalsystem,thehighestcreditratinginAfrica,thelackofexchangecontrolsandbeinganexporterofsavingsmakeBotswanasomewhatuniqueintheworldofemergingmarkets.

Thiscombinationofcomparativeandcompetitiveadvantagescreates an ideal environment for economicdiversificationnotonlyinareassuchasinthevalueadditiontodiamondsbutalsoin thecreationoffinancial services, thecenterofwhich is thecapitalmarket.

ItistakingintoaccounttheseadvantagesthattheBSEmouldedandremouldeditsstrategysince2006culminatingininitiativesover a broad spectrumof areas engulfing the capitalmarket.Broadly speaking, these pillars of development includeinfrastructure, legislation, regulation and market & productdevelopment,amongstothers.

The BSE is indeed happy to note that progress has beenachieved onmany fronts in the year 2013. Most importantlythe Automated Trading System (ATS) has helped propel theBSEforwardandgeneratearecordturnoverofP9.3Mnperdayin2013.ThishasnotonlybeenthehighestturnoverrecordedsinceinceptionoftheBSEin1989butwas2.6timestheturnoverachievedin2012andwasalmostdoubletheturnoverachievedin2008,whichuntilthatpointhadbeentheyearwiththebestperformance.

In the CEO’s Review for 2012 I stated that “reaching out toinvestorsisallaboutbuildingrelationships”.Iftheserelationshipsare only limited to a few institutional investors then clearlyautomationasastrategyhaslittlevalue.

If theATS andCentral SecuritiesDepository (CSD) systemaretocontinue tocreatevalue then“reachingout”has toextendbeyond institutional investors. The information for 2013indicates that this process has indeed commenced. Localindividualturnoverin2013morethandoubledincomparisonto2012.

The BSE’s contribution to the continuation of this processinvolves further technological developments such as websitedevelopment, introduction of Internet based trading andinformation dissemination via data vendors. The Brokers’contributiontotheprocesshastodowithproactivelyreachingouttoinvestors,retailinvestorsinparticularandsupportingthemarketdevelopmentinitiativesoftheBSE.

TheBSEtracksitsperformanceincomparisontootheremergingmarketsinordertobenchmarkitself.TheExchangeishappytonote that theBSEhasmade large strides inbridging thegapthatexistsbetween itselfandothermarketsbenchmarkedforcomparative purposes. As can be seen from Section 8.3, theBSEfootprintincomparisontotheStockExchangeofMauritius(SEM)is72.8%in2013incomparisonto35.1%in2012and24.4%in 2011. If the Pulamovementwith theUSDollar is adjustedto reflect the movement of the Mauritian Rupee against theGreenback,theBSE’sfootprintwouldincreaseto75.5%ofthatofSEM.

Further,theincreaseinliquidityandturnoverin2013wasnotattheexpenseofstability.Stabilityofturnoverinfacthasimprovedin the year under review as evidenced by the coefficient ofvariationandotherstatisticsdetailedinSection3.5.On the financial front, the BSE did not have to depend onthe Government subvention to meet its operations anddevelopmentexpenditureforthethirdconsecutiveyear.Ontheotherhand,CSDBotswana(CSDB)whichhashadtodependonthesubventionsinceitsinception,didnothavetodosoin2013.

Allinall,2013hasbeenthebestyear,todate.AyearinwhichtheBSEhasbeenpropelledto“newheights”inmorewaysthanone.

2. ECONOMIC BACKDROP

2.1 World Economy

The International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) World EconomicOutlookupdatereleasedinJanuary2014,hasestimatedworldoutputtohaveexpandedby3.1%in2012,downfrom3.9%in2011. Global output is projected to expand by 3.0% in 2013,beforerecoveringslightlytogrowby3.7%in2014,underpinnedlargelybytherecoveryinadvancedeconomies.

Growth in advanced economieswas estimated to be 1.3% in2013comparedto1.4% in2012.Projections for2014 indicatethat advanced economies are expected to recover modestly

andregisteragrowthof2.2%duetoexpectationsofcontinuedaccommodativemonetarypolicyandfiscalconsolidation.

Emerging markets weakened slightly in 2013 with growthdecliningfromanestimated4.9%in2012to4.7%in2013.Therecoveryinemergingmarketsisforecastedtogetunderwayin2014withoutputexpectedtogrowby5.1%primarilyliftedbystrongerexternaldemandfromadvancedeconomies.

The update reiterates the downside risks to the forecastsdiscussed intheWorldEconomicOutlookreleased inOctober2013.Emergingeconomiesareverymuchatriskofcapitalflowvolatilitygiven that theFed (USCentralBank) is likely tostarttaperingitsmonetarystimulusin2014exertingupwardpressureon interest rates. This, combined with domestic weaknesses,could result incapitalflight toadvancedeconomiesandspurexchange rate volatility, in the process dampening growthprospectsforemergingmarkets.

2.2 Botswana Economy

The latest economic data for Botswana shows that in realterms,GDPgrewby5.9%in2013comparedtoarevised4.3%in2012. According toStatisticsBotswana, theacceleration inreal GDP growth in 2013 was mainly attributable to mining,which recorded an increase in value added of 10.6%. Theincrease inmining outputwas a reflection of the recovery indiamondproductionwhichwassubdueddueto lowdemandin2012.Miningremainedamajorcontributor toGDPwith itscontributionrisingto22.4%in2013comparedto19.9%in2012.

According to the 2014/2015 Budget Speech, the Ministry ofFinanceandDevelopmentPlanning(MFDP)hasestimatedthatrealGDP is expected togrowby5.1% in2014, fuelledby theexpectedgrowth innon-mining sectors such asTrade,Hotels&RestaurantsandFinance&Business sectors. It isnoted thattherelocationoftheDiamondTradingCentrefromLondontoGaboroneattheendof2013isexpectedtocontributepositivelyto theprospectsofgrowthof thedomesticeconomy,despitethe uncertainty that still exists in the external demand fordiamonds.However,forthemostpart,growthinthedomesticeconomy will continue to be guided by the recovery of theworldmarketgivenBotswana’sdependenceondiamonds.

According to the 2014/2015 Budget Speech, the subdueddemandfordiamondsbyadvancedeconomiesandtheslowinggrowth of emerging economies will negatively impact therecoveryintheminingsector.Inadditiontotheuncertaintyoftheminingrevenues,thedomesticeconomyisalsosusceptibletoshockstoSACUrevenuesandthiscouldhaveabearingonthe forecasted revenues and expenditure for 2014/2015. Therevenuefromthesetwosourcescollectivelyaccountedforover60%oftotalrevenuesin2013.

2.3 Implications for Capital Markets

It is expected that the forecasted increase in Governmentexpenditure, as reflected in the 2014/2015 Budget Speech,wouldstimulateprivatesectoreconomicactivitywhichisalsolargelydependentonGovernmentspending.

Itisexpectedthatanenvironmentoflowpredictableinflationwillallowforpositiverealinterestrateswhich,inturn,couldfostermobilisation of financial savings and productive investment.In particular, investors are expected to continue to seek realreturns in alternative investments such as in listed securities.

In 2013, the BSE embarked on a strategy to develop GlobalDepository Receipts (GDRs) which would enable equities offoreignlistedcompaniestobelistedandtradedontheBSE.Asthe global economy continues to recover, local investors willbebetterpositionedtodiversifyandbenefitfromexposuretointernationalstocksusingtheBSEasaconduittogainexposuretosuchmarkets,throughGDRs.

As stated in the 2014/2015 Budget Speech, Governmentintends toprivatisesomeof thestateownedentities in2014.The anticipated listing of the Botswana TelecommunicationsCorporation (BTC)andtheNationalDevelopmentBank (NDB),

will promote citizen economic empowerment and contributetoeconomicdiversification.TheBSEwelcomesthisprocessasitwilladdtoanincreaseinmarketcapitalisationandliquidityoftheBSEanddeepenthecapitalmarket.

3. EQUITY MARKET PERFORMANCE

3.1 Domestic Company Indices

TheDomesticCompany Index(DCI)closedtheyearat9,053.4points, its highest level since 21 November 2007, recordingan increase of 20.5%.This is the highest annual appreciationin the DCI since 2007. The performance of the DCI in 2013,overshadowed its performance in 2012 when the DCIappreciated by 7.7%. The DCI signalled a recovery from theeffectsofthefinancialcrisisin2008whenitregisteredapositivegrowthin3consecutiveyearsuptoandincluding2013.

Themodest appreciation in theDCI towards the endof 2012resultedintheDCIpickingupmomentuminQuarter1of2013,leading to an increase of 11.8%.The DCI further appreciatedby3.4%inQuarter2,beforeexperiencingadeclineof1.1%inQuarter3.InQuarter4,theDCIgained5.3%.

AnanalysisofthedifferencebetweentheDCIandtheDomesticCompany Free Float Index (DCFFI) and the relative impact ofdividendsandliquiditywhichaccountedforthedifferencewascarried out by computing a new index which measured thereturnsoftheconstituentsoftheDCIonamarketcapitalisationweightedandtotal returnbasis.Thenew indexcomputed forthepurposeofanalysisistheDCITotalReturnIndexorDCI(TRI).

3.3 Local Asset Sector Companies

TheLocalAssetStatus Index (LASI)andtheLocalAssetStatusFreeFloatIndex(LASFFI)compriseofalldomesticcountersandforeigncompanies thathavebeenawarded localasset status.Bothindicesaretotalreturnindicesandthedifferencebetweenthe performances of the 2 indices is solely explained by theweightingmethodology.

In 2013, the LASI’s appreciation of 1.1% against the LASFFI’sappreciationof22.4%canbeexplainedbytheperformanceofliquid domestic companies. The appreciation of 22.4% in theLASFFIislargelyattributabletotheappreciationof23.3%intheDCFFIasthemajorityofdomesticcompaniesintheDCFFIcontributeasignificantproportionoftheLASFFI.

Fromaliquiditystandpoint,theimpactoflargecompaniesbymarket capitalisation, such as Anglo American, is minimizedin the computation of LASFFI whereas it remains significantintheLASI.ThemutedperformanceoftheLASIcanthereforebeattributed to theperformanceofAngloAmerican. In2013Angloconstituted88.1%ofthetotalmarketcapitalisationoftheLASIanditssharepriceontheBSEdidnotchange.AsaresultthegoodperformanceoftherestoftheconstituentsoftheLASIwasweigheddownbytheinertiaofAnglo,resultingintheLASIonlyappreciatingby1.1%.

3.4 Sector Contributions to Performance of the DCI and the FCI

Figure 4 details the analysis of sector contributions to theperformance of the DCI and the FCI. As can be deduced,all sectors other than Information Technology and SecurityServices,contributedpositivelytothe20.5%growthintheDCI.

In2013,theBankingsectorwasthedominantsectorcontributing8.1 percentage points to the growth in the DCI. This sectorhasgreatlyinfluencedtheDCIin2010and2011andwasonlyovershadowedbytheRetail&Wholesalingsectorin2012whichin 2013was the second largest contributor at 7.2percentagepoints.AscanbeseenfromFigure4,FinancialServices,Retail&WholesalingandBankingsectorshaveaccountedforover90%ofthegrowthintheDCI.Thisisnotsurprisinggiventhatthese3sectorsarethemostliquidandaccountformorethan84.2%ofthedomesticmarketcapitalisationoftheBSE.

ThecontributionbytheBankingsectorismainlyattributedtotheappreciationinthesharepriceofFNBB.Atcompanylevel,the share price of FNBB appreciated by 43.9%, resulting in acontributionof8.2percentagepointstotheoverallgrowthof20.5%oftheDCI,despiteotherstockshavingappreciatedmorethanFNBBin2013.FNBB’scontributionwasunderpinnedbyitshighweightageintheDCIin2013.

Choppieswas the secondbest contributor to theDCI,with acontributionof3.9percentagepoints.Letshego,whichwasthemostliquidstockin2013,wasthethirdhighestcontributorat3.3 percentage points. In addition to these companies, othermaincontributorstotheDCIwereSefalanaandSechabawhichcontributed1.6%and1.3%respectively.

In2013,thetop5companiesaccountedfor89.1%ofthegrowthintheDCIincomparisonto86.0%in2012.

On the Foreign Equity Board the Mining & Minerals sectorcontinued its dominant influence on the performance of theFCI.Thissectorcontributedanegative1.03%andoutweighedtheFinancialServicessector’scontributionofapositive0.03%.ThisresultedintheFCIdepreciatingby1.01%.

ThisisnotsurprisinggiventhatthemarketcapitalisationoftheMining&Mineralssectoraccountedfor95.2%of total foreigncompanies’marketcapitalisationin2013,andthattheFCI isamarketcapitalisationweightedindex.

The coefficient of variation of turnover was lowest in 2013,further compounding that stability of turnover has indeedimproved. From the BSE’s point of view this is a welcomedevelopmentsinceturnoverwasgeneratedinamoreconsistentmanner,anindicationofthegrowingsustainabilityinliquidity.

The average daily turnover ofP13.8MnperdayachievedinQuarter4of2013isthehighestturnoverachievedinanyQuarterinthehistoryoftheBSE.Thiswas largely due to the turnover generated from transactionsin Choppies. Choppies generated a turnover of P204.4Mn inQuarter4throughthetransactionof66.8Mnshares.

3.7 Impact of the ATS on Liquidity

Arguably the single most important development that hascontributed to an increase in liquidity is the implementationof theATS inAugust2012. Inorder tounderstandthe impacttheATShashadonliquidity,acomparisonwasmadepreandpost theATS implementation.The statistics examined for thispurposearedepictedinFigure12.

The difference between the depreciation of the NAV (in Pulaterms)of2.7%incomparisontoanappreciationinRandtermsof 7.5% is largely explained by the appreciation of the PulaagainsttheRand.In2013thePulaappreciatedby9.7%againsttheZAR.

As such pension fund managers, withstringent weight allocations between domestic and foreignassets, canallocateaportionof thedomesticportfolio to theNewGoldandtheBettaBetaETFs,whicharebackedbyforeignsecurities,withoutviolatingtheirallocationguidelines.

The efficient price discovery in ETFs can be attributed to themarket-makingmodelwhichhas ensured these securities arehighly liquid andhighly accessible to investors.The extentofthepriceefficiencyinETFsoveraperiodof3yearsisdepictedin Figure 24. This has been computed using the Mean PriceDifferential(MPD)andMPDrelativetoaveragepriceoftheETFsintheJSE,whichistheprimarymarket.

Despite these advantages it has been noted that investorinterest inETFs,especiallytheBettaBetaETF, is lowandthis ismainlyduetoassetmanagersnotmakingsignificantallocationstoETFsintheirportfolios.Ithasbeenbroughttotheattentionof the BSE that asset managers do not include ETFs in theirlocalportfolioholdingsbecauseunlikedomesticequities, theperformance of which is benchmarked by the DCI and otherindices,ETFsdonothaveadomesticbenchmarkeventhoughboththeNewGoldandBettaBetaETFshavebeenawardedLocalAssetStatus.

It canbenoted fromFigure27 thatover theyearsdual listedsecuritiesintheBSEwiththeexceptionofETFs,haveexhibitedinefficienciesinpricediscovery.ThisisevidentfromtheMPDsoftheduallistedsecuritiesbothinabsolutetermsandrelativetopricedetailedinFigure27.

A challengeemanating from this situation is that the ForeignCompany Index (FCI)whichtracks theperformanceof foreignstocks listed on the BSE consequently becomes inefficient inmeasuringperformanceofthereturnsofduallistedcompanies,giventhemethodologyusedtocomputetheFCI.

TheFCI iscomputedusingtheclosingpriceof thedual listedsecurities as traded on the BSE. Hence, low liquidity andinefficient price discovery have a direct influence on thecomputationoftheFCI.Ifacomponentsecurityhasnottradedon the BSE for some time, its last closing price is unlikely torepresent itsvalueandhencewill lead to inefficiencies in thecalculationoftheFCI,FRSIandLASI.

AscanbenotedfromFigures28and29,theBSE’sFCIisindeedaninefficientrepresentationofpricemovementsofitsconstituentstocks,themajorityofwhichareminingstocks.Ascanbeseen,theFCIcomputedusingBSE’sclosingpricesmovesin“fitsandstarts”andhasaweakcorrelationwiththeFCIbasedonprimarymarketprices.ThisisinstarkcontrasttotheETFslistedontheBSE.

InordertoimprovetheefficiencyoftheFCItheBSEisconsideringthefollowingstrategies;a) Introducingmarket-makersforduallistedsecurities. ThedraftListingRulesduetobeimplementedin Quarter4of2014addressestheissue.

b) Redefiningclosingpricesbasedontheclosingprices intheprimarymarket.c) Makinglocalinvestorsandbrokersawareofthe intricaciesofinvestinginforeignsecuritiesduallisted ontheBSEinordertominimizeopportunitiesfor arbitrage.

As stated earlier, the largest constituent of the FCI are theMining&Mineralstocks.EventhoughmarketcapitalizationofMining & Mineral sector companies is significant, liquidity inthesecountersisnon-existent,asdetailedinFigure29.

Accordingtotheresultsofthe2012/2013FraserInstituteGlobalMining Survey, Botswanawas once again the highest rankedAfricanminingcountryinoverallminingattractiveness.Globally,Botswanawasrankedthe7thattractiveminingaddressintheworld.

The BSE plays host to a wide range of mining explorationcompanieswhoarebenefitingfromtheconduciveenvironmentafforded by Botswana. By extension, the BSE can be viewedasaminingdominantstockexchangegivenitstrackrecordinattractingmultipledual listings fromforeignstockexchanges.These listings however have not helped to promote citizenparticipation in themining sector,mainlydue to the liquidityinthesesecuritiesandthelackofawarenessoflocalinvestors,analysts and brokers of the intricacies of investing inminingcompanies.

The BSE launched 3 bond indices in April 2013 in responseto a request from members of the Botswana Bond MarketAssociation.Thesewere;GovI–agovernmentbondindex,CorpI–acorporatebondindexandtheBBIwhichisacompositeindexcomprisingbothgovernmentandcorporatebonds.

TheGovIandtheCorpIareequallyweightedindicescomputedonatotalreturnbasis.ConstituentbondsintheCorpIandGovIare weighted equally rather than on a market capitalizationor liquidity basis as done in the computation of BSE’s equityindices.

This was done taking into account the need for the indicesto better represent market movements given the low levelof liquidity in almost all the constituent securities.The BBI iscomputedasthemeanoftheGovIandCorpI.Theperformanceoftheindicesandthemovementininflationfor2013isdetailedinFigure30.

Much like equity indices computed by the BSE, the bondindiceswillassistfundmanagerstobenchmarkreturnsofbondportfolios against the indices. Further, itwould help promoteinvestmentinstrumentssuchasbondindexfundsandETFs.

Inresponsetodeclining inflation,theBankofBotswana(BoB)MonetaryPolicyCommittee(MPC)cuttheBankrateby50basispoints(0.50%)eachtimeon2May,18June,13Augustand10December 2013. Overall, this reduced the Bank rate to 7.5%from9.5%sincethepreviousratecutinDecember2010.

Bond indices experienced an upward movement in 2013reflecting the significant downward adjustment in yieldsfollowingthefourratecuts.Consequently,theBBIregisteredareturnof10.3%,whilst theCorpIandtheGovIappreciatedby9.6%and10.9%respectively in2013.ReturnsonboththeBBIandtheGovIoutperformedinflationfor2013whichwas4.1%.

7. MARKET INDICATORS

7.1 Indicators of Value

CommonlyusedindicatorsofvalueinastockmarketincludethePrice-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio, DividendYield and Price-to-BookValueratio.

AsmuchasaP/Eratiocanbecomputedforanindividualshare,itcanalsobecomputedforthemarketasawhole.TheP/Eratiofor themarket is computed by dividingmarket capitalisationby totalearnings (profits)of listedcompanies.As canbe seenfromFigure33,themarketP/EratiooftheBSEincreasedin2013followingthreeyearsofsteadydeclinesince2009,reflectingtheappreciationofsharepricesincomparisontoearnings.TheBSE’sP/Eratioclosedtheyearat11.5timesincomparisonto9.2timesin2012.

Intandemwiththerise intheP/Eratio, theDividendYield forthemarketdecreased to4.1% in2013 from4.9% in2012.Thedecrease inDividendYield isdirectlyrelatedtothe increase insharepricesasevidentfromtheseveralindicescomputedbytheBSE.ThePrice-to-BookValueratioincreasedsteadilyto2.7timesforthesamereason.

Changesinmarketindicatorscouldreflectoneoftwounderlyingreasons; that the market is overheated or that it has morepotentialtocreatevalueforinvestors.

As at the end of 2013, the BSE’s P/E ratiowas below its longterm(10year)average,indicatingthatinvestorsarepayinglessfor earnings than theywerepayingover thepast 10 yearsonaverage.

All in all, theBSE isof theview that theappreciation in shareprices in recent years is due to the gradual recovery of themarketfromthefinancialcrisisin2008.

As can be seen from Figure 37, the BSE’s P/E multiple is stillthe lowest in comparison to the JSE and theSEMwhich is anadvantage to attract foreign portfolio investment to the BSEprovidedliquiditycanbeimproved.

Interest generated on funds invested in money marketfunds and call deposits doubled in comparison to 2012. Thegrowth in investment income is attributed to the setting upofan InvestmentCommitteewhich is responsible for treasurymanagement.

For the first time since its inception, the CSDB generatedsufficient revenue tomeet its expenditure andmake a profitof P190, 000without depending on the subvention.This is acommendable improvementwhencomparedtoa lossofP1.9Mn(beforeaccountingforthesubvention) in2012.Thistooisattributedtothehighturnoverin2013.
