The African Exchanges Linkage Project (AELP) is a joint initiative of the African Securities Exchanges Association (ASEA) and the African Development Bank (AfDB). Together, the two institutions wish to promote cross-border trading and liquidity in Africa’s markets by linking seven pilot exchanges in Africa, namely: 

1.      Bourse Régionale des Valeurs Mobilières 

2.      Casablanca Stock Exchange

3.      Johannesburg Stock Exchange 

4.      Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE)

5.      Nigerian Stock Exchange

6.      Stock Exchange of Mauritius

7.      Egyptian Exchange

If harnessed well, it is anticipated that the AELP will unlock Pan-African investment flows, promote innovations to offer more diversification for African investors, and make it easier for businesses and projects to raise capital across the markets.
