Reference is made to the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health with regards to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Having due regard for the need to ensure continuity of operations at the Stock Exchange as well as the need to comply with measures taken by the Ministry of Health, the Malawi Stock Exchange (MSE) has taken the following precautionary measures:
- All gatherings of more than 100 people were banned as per the Ministry of Health guidelines. As such any listed companies planning on holding AGM’s or other shareholder engagement activities should ensure they comply with this arrangement or consider postponement to a later date in consultation with all relevant regulatory authorities.
- Stakeholders are being advised to only make electronic submissions of documents as the Exchange will not be accepting hard copies until further notice.
- All in person meetings at the Exchange have been suspended forthwith. Alternatively, virtual meetings through Skype and other electronic platforms are encouraged and will be utilized.
- If you are experiencing any of the covid-19 symptoms, please call 54747 for assistance and do not go out into the public after symptoms are apparent.
The Malawi Stock Exchange has in place a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan as such the above measures have no impact on trading activities on the Stock Exchange and in no ways abdicate listed companies and members from complying with the MSE Listings Requirements and other Laws and Regulations. If there are any changes, the public will be informed accordingly.
