Interconnectivity Project Presentation – December 2016 Why interconnectivity? Many African securities exchanges need more liquidity Too few issuers/listings, too few opportunities to invest in (lots of investment capital is looking for opportunities) Not enough secondary trading for buyers or sellers to get fair price and desired timing Markets are inefficient, less desirable and have high transaction costs, increased cost of capital for issuers Local markets are best for needs of local economies Instead of merging exchanges, technology means linkages between national exchanges Combine markets to get more opportunities to invest and more investors CoSSE interconnectivity aims Enterprises can raise capital across SADC if they are approved to raise on one exchange Investors on one exchange can buy shares seamlessly on other exchanges within SADC region The region’s capital markets become more liquid and more efficient Global interconnectivity initiatives Association of South East Asian Nations - ASEAN Trading Link 2011 Single market access for 7 stock exchanges First - Bursa Malaysia, Philippines Stock Exchange, Stock Exchange of Thailand and SGX-ST (equities of Singapore Exchange) CEESEG AG owns 4 stock exchanges of Budapest, Ljubljana, Prague and Vienna as equal subsidiaries SEE, backed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), links 3 Balkan stock exchanges Mercado Integrado Latinoamericano (MILA) founding members Lima Stock Exchange (Perú), Santiago Stock Exchange (Chile) and Colombia Stock Exchange Trading lower than expectations (partly due to post-trade issues) African interconnectivity East African Community interconnectivity project ongoing (interconnectivity hub in Arusha) – Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Uganda, Rwanda Bourse Régionale des Valeurs Mobilières SA (BRVM) headquarters in Abidjan One of the world’s most integrated regional exchanges Links 8 francophone countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea- Bisssau, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Niger, Sénégal and Togo) BRVM joins Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone stock exchanges in West African Capital Market Integration Council (WACMIC), set up 2013 African Development Bank and African Securities Exchanges Association working on African Exchanges Linkage Project (AELP) to link Johannesburg, Nairobi, Casablanca and Nigerian stock exchanges. Interconnectivity and SADC SADC Common Agenda (Article 5 of the SADC Treaty) Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan (RISDP) refers specifically to CoSSE (para 5.3.2) Targets of RISDP operationalized through SADC protocols Finance and Investment Protocol (FIP) 2006 (especially Chap 7, Articles 13 & 14 and Annex 11): Objective to facilitate financial integration through developing a harmonized securities market environment; establish “an integrated real time network of the national securities markets within SADC; pave the way towards cross-border listings and trading and investments.. facilitate the process of financial integration within the Region”. Other SADC development - SIRESS SADC Committee of Central Bank Governors (CCBG) developed + implementing SADC Integrated Regional Electronic Settlement System (SIRESS). First transaction July 2013 73 banks participating (includes 6 central banks) 9 countries participating Volumes of payments much larger than initially expected – by Jan 2016 had settled ZAR1.8 trillion ($114bn), total 381,879 transactions. Peak month was 24,960 transactions in Oct 2015, ZAR99bn in Sep 2015. CoSSE previous work on interconnectivity Has been working on interconnectivity since 2008-9 Interconnectivity Project Steering Committee proposed technology hub solution Could not raise funding CoSSE business plan 2012 proposed new capital structure 2 or more exchanges could take the lead Equity/for-profit investment structure to involve DFIs Did not go forward. CoSSE principles for interconnectivity (since 2008) Exchanges operate different trading, clearing and settlement platforms Exchanges regulate their own listings but exchanges’ instruments should be visible to other markets. Exchanges regulate their own trading, however, accessibility of trading on other markets is requirement Exchanges will comply with individual country legislation and other exchanges’ company law, insider trading legislation, etc. Exchange control in various countries, Common Monetary Area is not considered in timeline Exchanges will trade and settle in their own currency Securities will be held in the country of register Exchanges to decide on data sales independently and manage individually. However, market data should be visible internationally progress 2015-2016 CoSSE interconnectivity African Development Bank funded consultant 2015-16 Update 2012 business plan and 2008-9 project Discuss way forward with exchanges and stakeholders (regulators, stockbrokers, investment institutions, etc) Met 9 potential IT suppliers Stock exchange trading systems and smart order routers Broker network providers Data vendors Investigate alternatives in line with business needs CoSSE Interconnectivity project 2 Review international (ASEAN, MILA, CEESEG, SEE, etc in Europe) and African linkages (EAC, WACMIC) and lessons Review changing landscape, including SIRESS (SADC cross- border payment system) Recommendations regarding way forward, including relations with SADC including CISNA, CCBG Report adopted by CoSSE in Windhoek March 2016 Background to recommendations Cross-border trading already possible Client in one country can tell broker to place order with broker in another country Little volume for this Obstacles to more trading?

    Pricing and spread components at the Lima Stock Exchange Luis Chávez-Bedoya, Carlos Loaiza Álamo and Giannio Téllez De Vettori ABSTRT AC This paper analyses three aspects of the share market operated by the Lima Stock Exchange: (i) the short-term relationship between the pricing, direction and volume of order flows; (ii) the components of the spread and the equilibrium point of the limit order book per share, and (iii) the pricing, order direction and trading volume dynamic resulting from shocks in the same variables when lagged. The econometric results for intraday data from 2012 show that the short-run dynamic of the most and least liquid shares in the General Index of the Lima Stock Exchange is explained by the direction of order flow, whose price impact is temporary in both cases.

  • Integration Level of Equity Markets in APEC's Emerging
    Integration level of equity markets in APEC’s emerging countries: Are emerging markets regionally or globally integrated? Authors: Cynthia Ho Szee Yah Dinh Thi Quynh Anh Supervisor: Per Nilsson Student Umeå School of Business Autumn semester 2010 Master thesis, two-year, 30 hp Integration level of equity markets in APEC’s emerging countries: Are emerging markets regionally or globally integrated? Anh Dinh Cynthia Ho Abstract Supported by the investment barriers removal, financial deregulation and improved macroeconomic policies during the last three decades, the process of financial integration in those markets, emerging markets in general and emerging markets within Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in particular, has been pro-actively accessed these days. Moreover, recent trend in globalization in many APEC countries and especially in the emerging markets has triggered a stronger financial integration progress across countries. Nevertheless, it is surprising to find that these countries not only benefited from regional financial integration but also experienced global financial integration in the same period. Markets over the last two decades, which have been highlighted by financial crises occurred among those APEC emerging countries in the early of the year 1997, have raised political, social and economic questions. One of prominent questions among them: “Are emerging markets in APEC regionally or globally integrated?” has raised our interest in measuring the integration level in these countries. Our thesis paper, therefore, seeks to answer the question on the degree of financial integration level in nine APEC emerging countries. Collecting stock indexes from the Chile (Santiago Stock Exchange), China (Shanghai Stock Exchange), Indonesia (Indonesia Stock Exchange), Malaysia (Bursa Malaysia), Mexico (Mexican Stock Exchange), Philippines (Philippines Stock Exchange), Peru (Lima Stock Exchange), Russia (RTS Russian Stock Exchange), Thailand (Thailand Stock Exchange), we compute empirically the integration scores for these nine countries.

  • Market Highlights for First Half-Year 2012
    23 July 2012 Market highlights for first half-year 2012 The size of global markets (the global market capitalization) increased by 5.3% in the first half of 2012. In Americas and Asia Pacific, the relative good performance of stock markets in the first half of 2012 (market capitalization up 9.1% and 4.6% respectively) was not sufficient for market capitalization to reach the levels observed one year ago, before the sharp decline in the summer 2011. In EAME region, the market capitalization in USD did not grow. It was mainly due to the lower performance of stock markets in Europe following the sovereign debt crisis as well as the exchange rates. In constant USD, the EAME region’s market capitalization did increase by 2.1% in the first half of 2012. In Asia Pacific region, the growth rate of market capitalization in constant USD1 was also higher (+6%) than in current USD. Growth in market capitalization is sometimes the result of an increased number of listed companies, but in the first half of 2011 the total number of listed companies at WFE level was steady. Decline of trading volumes on stock exchange Despite the higher market capitalization, the total value of share trading2 of WFE member exchanges continued to decrease significantly falling 14% in the first half of 2012 after an earlier drop of 4% in second half-year of 2011. The most significant decrease was observed in the Americas region (-20%). This was mostly due to US exchanges (accounting for 90% of the value of share trading) that decreased by 21%.

  • An Analysis of the Relationship Between Risk and Expected Return in the BRVM Stock Exchange: Test of the CAPM
    www.sciedu.ca/rwe Research in World Economy Vol. 5, No. 1; 2014 An Analysis of the Relationship between Risk and Expected Return in the BRVM Stock Exchange: Test of the CAPM Kolani Pamane1 & Anani Ekoue Vikpossi2 1 School of Management, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China 2 Swakop Uranium (Propriety) Ltd, Olympia Windhoek, Namibia Correspondence: Kolani Pamane, School of Management, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China. E-mail: [email protected] Received: October 22, 2010 Accepted: November 10, 2010 Online Published: March 1, 2014 doi:10.5430/rwe.v5n1p13 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5430/rwe.v5n1p13 Abstract One of the most important concepts in investment theory is the relationship between risk and return. This relationship drives the theoretical foundation of many investment models such as the well known Capital Asset Pricing Model which predicts that the expected return on an asset above the risk-free rate is linearly related to the non-diversifiable risk measured by its beta. This study examines the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and test it validity for the WAEMU space stock market called BRVM (BOURSE REGIONALE DES VALEURS MOBILIERES) using monthly stock returns from 17 companies listed on the stock exchange for the period of January 2000 to December 2008. Combining Black, Jensen and Scholes with Fama and Macbeth methods of testing the CAPM, the whole period was divided into four sub-periods and stock’s betas used instead of portfolio’s betas due to the small size of the sample. The CAPM’s prediction for the intercept is that it should equal zero and the slope should equal the excess returns on the market portfolio.

  • Cooperation Among the Stock Exchanges of the Oic Member Countries
    Journal of Economic Cooperation, 27 -3 (2006), 121-162 COOPERATION AMONG THE STOCK EXCHANGES OF THE OIC MEMBER COUNTRIES SESRTCIC In response to the increased competition prevailing in the international financial markets, national stock exchanges around the world recently made several attempts to upgrade their cooperation and improve their integration. Those attempts took often the form of coalitions, common trading platforms, mergers, associations, federations and unions. Like others, the OIC countries have recently intensified their efforts to promote cooperation among their stock exchanges with a view to developing and consolidating a mechanism for a possible form of integration among themselves. This paper reviews the experiences of various stock exchange alliances established at regional and international levels and draws some lessons for the OIC countries’ stock exchanges in terms of the need for harmonising their physical, institutional and legal frameworks and policies and sharing their investor base. 1. INTRODUCTION As the international trade and financial flows accelerated, the global economy witnessed an increase in the pace of integration. This process of globalisation is most evidently observed in the capital and financial markets. One important element that has led to such a result is the technological advancement in the information and telecommunications sector. Hence, financial transactions became instantaneous and the information guiding investments open to everybody. In this context, technological advancements and the resulting accelerated flow of information have increased efficiency, fairness, transparency and safety in the international financial and capital markets. 122 Journal of Economic Cooperation As those developments introduced new prospects and benefits to the stock markets all around the world, they increased competition among the financial markets, securities exchanges in particular.

    Index Governance LIST OF APPROVED REGULATED STOCK EXCHANGES The following announcement applies to all equity indices calculated and owned by Solactive AG (“Solactive”). With respect to the term “regulated stock exchange” as widely used throughout the guidelines of our Indices, Solactive has decided to apply following definition: A Regulated Stock Exchange must – to be approved by Solactive for the purpose calculation of its indices - fulfil a set of criteria to enable foreign investors to trade listed shares without undue restrictions. Solactive will regularly review and update a list of eligible Regulated Stock Exchanges which at least 1) are Regulated Markets comparable to the definition in Art. 4(1) 21 of Directive 2014/65/EU, except Title III thereof; and 2) provide for an investor registration procedure, if any, not unduly restricting foreign investors. Other factors taken into account are the limits on foreign ownership, if any, imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Regulated Stock Exchange is located and other factors related to market accessibility and investability. Using above definition, Solactive has evaluated the global stock exchanges and decided to include the following in its List of Approved Regulated Stock Exchanges. This List will henceforth be used for calculating all of Solactive’s equity indices and will be reviewed and updated, if necessary, at least annually.
