African Stock Exchanges

The majority of the 29 stock exchanges in Africa are members of the African Securities Exchanges Association (ASEA) which was incorporated in 1993 in the Republic of Kenya.

In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), capital markets are generally small and characterized with low levels of liquidity even though they deliver higher yields than in developed markets. In the region, the flow of capital is also vulnerable to many external shocks as was the case during the global financial crisis of 2008/2009 and the 2012 Euro crisis. The most active and liquid stock markets in the region are South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Mauritius and Zimbabwe with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) representing 38% of all listed companies and 83% of total market capitalization in SSA in 2012.
