The Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange’s (DSE) trading volumes reached about 211 million USD this year, up from 31 million in 2010, thanks to improved efficiency, new schemes, and easier investor access.

Speaking at the East African Business Week in Dar es Salaam recently, DSE CEO Moremi Marwa, said the DSE is currently trading at about 25 – 31 million USD quarterly, up from 6.2 million USD in 2010.

Elaborating on the DSE’s improvements, Mr Marwa explained that the bourse shortened its delivery and payment settlement cycle to three days (down from five), and it adopted a Wide Area Network that allows brokers to trade from their offices, eliminating the necessity to go to the floor.
