The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) has officially listed itself on its own trading platform—an unprecedented move in the country and a bold step that aligns it with a select group of global exchanges that have done the same.
Trading in ZSE Holdings (ticker: ZSEH.zw) kicks off on Friday, 11 July 2025. The listing is expected to boost the exchange’s visibility, enhance transparency, and make Zimbabwe more appealing to both local and international investors.

By joining the ranks of listed companies, the ZSE commits to the same governance standards as its peers.
The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange thus joins a small but growing group of African exchanges that have successfully self-listed. These include the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in South Africa, which went public in 2006; the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) in Kenya, which self-listed in 2014; and the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX), which followed suit in 2021. These moves are generally aimed at improving corporate governance, increasing financial transparency, and diversifying sources of capital. Zimbabwe’s initiative is part of this broader continental trend toward modernizing financial infrastructure and attracting investment.
