South Africa’s Second Stock Exchange
Planning for October Debut
Trading on South Africa’s second equity bourse may begin by the fourth quarter if Bravura Equity Services (Pty) Ltd. gets approvals to operate the Johannesburg Stock Exchange rival.
“We hope that we will be able to become operational two months after the license has been approved,” Stephan van der Walt, spokesman for Bravura, said by phone from Johannesburg on Friday. Trading may start by October, he said.
Rules in July that changed how over-the-counter trading can be done in South Africa opened the door to a group of companies led by Bravura to set up a second exchange. The 4 Africa Exchange, or 4AX, will give a platform for companies trading OTC shares and issues that are part of the country’s black economic empowerment program.
“There are at least 20 companies being affected, which are currently trading OTC that we know of,” van der Walt said. “There are at least eight companies that have indicated strong interest to look further at this.”
The 20 companies have a combined market capitalization of 20 billion rand ($1.7 billion), he said. Details will be released when Bravura’s application is submitted to the market regulator Financial Services Board, van der Walt said.
