🇧🇼 Botswana Stock Exchange

The Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) hit records in terms of the value of shares bought and sold in the first six months of the year, with turnover rising nearly six times when compared to the same period last year, despite the broader slowdown in the economy.

An investigative committee of the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) has given RDC Properties the green light to proceed with its long-suspended bid for a stake in property sector rival PrimeTime.

With over 80% of the Botswana Stock Exchange’s free-floating stock in the hands of local pension funds, traders, and listed companies have pointed to this as the reason for liquidity crunches that have troubled the bourse for many years.

The Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE)’s main platform, the Domestic Companies Index, enjoyed another strong year, rising by more than 12.2% and adding P6 billion in value despite tightening conditions in the economy.
