Watershed year at BSE :: Mmegi Online

2014 proved to be a defining year at the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) with increased number of counters opening Central Securities Depository (CSD) accounts while new products were also introduced.

The BSE transition bill also sailed through parliament, which will allow the incorporation of the Stock Exchange providing it with the flexibility to operate on a more commercial basis and enter into strategic alliances.

In the year, the stock market also introduced the Exchange News Service. This service will disseminate listed company information to the market in real time, facilitating punctual, equal and wide exchange of relevant news and information. Subscribers to the X-News Email Service now have the link to the publications dispatched to their designated email addresses within 10 minutes of uploading to the ATSM and BSEW.
