Establishment of SADC Capital Markets Association (SACMA) to Advance Regional Capital Market Development and Integration

The Committee of SADC Stock Exchanges (CoSSE), representing fourteen (14) registered stock exchanges across the Southern African Development Community (SADC), has resolved to establish the SADC Capital Markets Association (SACMA), a new regional body aimed at strengthening capital market integration and development across the region.

SACMA will serve as a broad and inclusive platform bringing together securities exchanges, capital market intermediaries, service providers, and strategic stakeholders. CoSSE will act as the executive arm of the Association, ensuring continuity, coordination, and effective ex*****on of its mandate.
The Association’s objectives include promoting regional market integration, product and market innovation, technical cooperation, capacity building, and practical market-development initiatives aligned with SADC’s economic and financial-sector priorities. SACMA will operate in support of national regulators and existing regional frameworks and will not exercise regulatory authority.

SACMA will also provide a structured interface for engagement with development finance institutions, international partners, and strategic investors, supporting the mobilization of long-term capital for priority regional programmes. Through coordinated engagement, the Association will amplify the collective voice of SADC capital markets in regional and global policy discussions and support efforts toward market convergence and regulatory harmonization.

Commenting on this major milestone, Chairman of CoSSE, Mr. Collen Tapfumaneyi, said:

“The establishment of SACMA marks an important milestone in the evolution of SADC’s capital markets. By bringing together exchanges and the broader capital-market ecosystem under a single, coordinated platform, we are creating a practical mechanism to support regional integration, innovation, and the mobilization of long-term capital for development. SACMA is designed to complement national and regional structures while providing a strong, unified voice for SADC capital markets.”
Preparations for the official regional launch of SACMA later in the year are underway.

SACMA is expected to play a key role in advancing regional economic integration, competitiveness, and inclusive growth, contributing to the achievement of SADC’s long-term development objectives.

COSSE CONVENES ITS 67TH BIANNUAL MEETING ALONGSIDE THE 28TH ASEA CONFERENCE, ADVANCING REGIONAL CAPITAL MARKET INTEGRATION AND ESG REPORTING

The Committee of SADC Stock Exchanges (CoSSE) successfully convened its 67th Bi-Annual Meeting alongside the 28th African Securities Exchanges Association (ASEA) Conference on the 26th of November 2025, in Kigali, Rwanda.

During this meeting, CoSSE members passed a resolution for the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) to continue hosting the CoSSE Secretariat. This decision was unanimously made to ensure continuity in delivering ongoing strategic initiatives aimed at deepening capital market development across the SADC region.

The meeting also officially launched the SADC Association of Exchanges (SASEA), a transformative initiative designed to broaden CoSSE’s membership structure, to facilitate the inclusion of diverse stakeholders, providing a platform for enhanced collaboration, knowledge sharing, and regional capital market growth. Members approved the SASEA technical documents supporting continued capacity building and market innovation.

In line with global sustainability trends, CoSSE represented by Mr. Tiaan Bazuin, former CoSSE Legal Advocacy and Regulatory Subcommittee officially launched the SADC ESG Reporting Framework during the 28th ASEA Annual Conference, which establishes a phased approach to mandatory sustainability reporting. This framework will guide member exchanges in implementing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, supporting transparency, accountability, and responsible investment across the region.

The 67th Bi-Annual Meeting further reviewed subcommittee updates in line with the implementation of the CoSSE 5-year strategic plan, including market development, financial inclusion, interconnectivity, and resource mobilization, highlighting key initiatives such as the Hub-and-Spoke Smart Order Routing project and regional ESG integration efforts.

The meeting concluded with an agreement to hold the next CoSSE Bi-Annual Meeting in Mauritius in March 2026, solidifying consistency in fostering continued collaboration across the SADC capital market ecosystem.
