Bloomberg

The African Securities Exchanges Association has started a project that will link seven bourses on the continent by the first quarter of 2021 as part of efforts to increase trading in
securities.
The move would enable brokers on the Casablanca Stock Exchange, the Bourse Régionale des Valeurs Mobilières in Abidjan, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the Nigerian Stock Exchange, the Stock Exchange of Mauritius, the Nairobi Securities Exchange and the Egyptian exchange to place orders for securities on the other trading platforms, association President Karim Hajji said.
“This initiative is supported by the African Development Bank, which has contributed funding of up to $1 million.”
