NBFIRA at BSE Open Day
The Authority was invited to the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) open day in Mahalapye. The Authority took advantage of this platform and provided an information stall where the participants made inquiries regarding NBFIRA’s mandate in the Capital Markets industry.
NBFIRA shared its mandatory information through pamphlets entailing other regulatory departments mandates. Mr Thapelo Moribame, Head of Market Development, BSE made remarks on investment opportunities in the BSE, opening the floor for Mr Billy Kgathi, Trading and Surveillance Specialist, BSE, who talked in length about listing on the BSE. This was another pertinent topic as some of the participants were interested in finding out how their enterprises can become global entities such as Choppies Botswana which was used as a case study on the benefits of listing.
The overall aim of the BSE Open Day was to increase outreach to sensitize and educate the public about the stock market and the importance of investing. It accorded the audience guidance on the process of investing in BSE listed securities and assist in addressing some of the concerns that many Batswana may have regarding the stock market.
NBFIRA...Working Towards Financial Stability!!!
