Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange- The Exchange

Dar Stock Exchange approved by WFE

Great news for Tanzania as the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange’s membership has been approved by the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE).

This is a welcome move on the Country’s financial markets and the overall economic agenda. It will help profiling the country and increasing its visibility to global portfolio investors.

WFE is the global industry association for exchanges and clearing houses. Headquartered in London, it represents over 200 market infrastructure providers, including standalone CCPs that are not part of exchange groups.

The Approval which took place following its Board of Directors meeting held in London, on January 21, 2019.

This marks the completion of a long process and on-site peer review and inspection exercise carried out by a team comprised of Johannesburg Stock Exchange, Egypt Stock Exchange and Bermuda Stock Exchange representatives in December 2018.

After achieving the Affiliate status in 2016, this led to a positive report to the Board of Directors of the WFE meeting in January 2019.

This evaluation confirmed that the Stock Exchange, the Regulators, the Central Depository and other stakeholders (including listed companies, stockbrokers, custodian and settlement banks, etc) of the Tanzanian capital market meet the main WFE standards and requirements in terms of compliance with market principles, efficiency and governance issues.

These standards cover topics as diverse: market organization; equal market access; legal and regulatory environment for listing and trading; clearing, settlement and custody; conflict resolution and complaint handling; risk management;  as well as market technical infrastructure.

Coupled with this achievement, there has been recent engagements and an ongoing assessment of Tanzanian Market by FTSE Russell (FTSE) – in September 2018 the FTSE Russell Country Classification Advisory Committee, the FTSE Russell Policy Advisory Board, and the FTSE Russell Product Governance Board approved the addition of Tanzania to the “FTSE Watch List” for possible reclassification from Unclassified to Frontier Market Status by September 2019.

Therefore, this WFE full membership status, granted to the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange will further strengthen the visibility of the country, the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange and listed companies to foreign portfolio investors, including large global fund managers.

According to WFE, for the exchange industry to perform its macroeconomic role, it must meet the high standards set by the market’s commercial needs and adhere to the best practices and standards set by local and global authorities competent in the financial services industry

WFE and its members support an orderly, secure, fair and transparent environment for investors; for companies that raise capital; and for all who deal with financial risk. WFE has extensive experience in developing and enforcing high standards of conduct, the WFE and its members support an orderly, secure, fair and transparent environment for investors; for companies that raise capital; and for all who deal with financial risk. The firm seeks outcomes that maximise the common good, consumer confidence and economic growth. They also engage with policy makers and regulators in an open, collaborative way, reflecting the central, public role that exchanges and CCPs play in a globally integrated financial system.
