What is the JSE doing to boost stock market activity? Big plans to fire up SA equities - Sam Mokorosi

Loading player...
The JSE has plans to fire up SA equities after a period in which companies have been delisting from the JSE in their droves and investors have been looking for stock market opportunities elsewhere in the world. Can the stock exchange reverse the trend? In this interview, Sam Mokorosi - Head of Origination and Deals - sets out JSE plans for issuers as well as investors. Independent financial advisors are being encouraged to point their clients towards the stock exchange. The JSE is aggressively trying to attract more companies from elsewhere in Africa, Middle East, Eastern Europe and South-East Asia. It is also hoping to roll out a private equity platform, using blockchain-enabled technology, in six months, with opportunities for retail investors. In addition, it is working on data analysis innovations and new products to help issuers and investors. - Jackie Cameron Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
