Johannesburg Stock Exchange To Be Closed for Business on 30 and 31 December 1999

After due consideration, the JSE Main Committee has decided that the JSE will be closed for business on 30 and 31 December 1999. 29 December 1999 will thus be the last day for the dissemination of trading information to the public and vendors during 1999. This information will therefore appear in the media on 30 December 1999. Key JSE personnel will be at work on 30 and 31 December 1999 in order to assist in the orderly transition of JSE systems to the year 2000. The decision to close the JSE for business on 30 and 31 December 1999 has been taken in the interests of ensuring business continuity into the year 2000 and the JSE looks forward to a profitable and exciting start to the New Year.
