The Stock Exchange of Mauritius (SEM) is going live on 13 May 2022, with a new high-end Automated Trading System (ATS), developed by Securities and Trading Technology (STT), a global provider of financial market solutions and software-enabled services. Along with the new ATS, SEM will also launch a new fully-responsive mySEM app with a new-look and feel, as well as new functionalities.

This overhaul of SEM's technological infrastructure relates to a number of ground-breaking initiatives implemented by the SEM in recent years to avail its key stakeholders, including investors and issuers, of improved state-of-the-art services and enhanced trading experience. The new trading engine complies with all existing functional and business requirements, but also includes new improvements that are fully aligned with the pursuit of a differentiation strategy to position the Exchange as an attractive multi-currency capital-raising and listing platform for local, Africa-focused and niche international products. The new trading platform supports SEM’s existing cash instruments, while also supporting new potential instruments such as futures and options.

The new ATS also incorporates modern high-end surveillance modules which will enhance real-time surveillance of market activities. It will also facilitate foreign investors’ access to our market through FIX connectivity to order-routing networks and Order Management Systems.
