African Stock Exchange

The African Stock Exchange is an electronic trading platform for equities and bonds, associated with Bhumishq, a Mauritius-based digital and fintech company. Bhumishq describes itself as being on a mission to help shape the future and transform lives in the countries in which it operates through innovative digital technologies and game-changing business models. The company positions Mauritius as a leader in the fintech sector and aims to enable Sub-Saharan African enterprises to leapfrog developed markets. The African Stock Exchange sits within this broader fintech and market-infrastructure vision, providing an electronic venue for trading equity and bond instruments. Because the available evidence is limited, the precise ownership structure, launch date, regulatory status, and full product set of the African Stock Exchange are not documented here. What is clear is that it is a commercial trading-platform brand connected to Bhumishq, rather than a physical exchange building or a non-commercial entity. Its geographic focus is Mauritius and Sub-Saharan Africa, and its core offering is electronic trading of equities and bonds.
