What is the difference between a share being registered with ECMA and listed on ESX?

Registration with ECMA is a regulatory filing that makes a company’s existing shares legally transferable to the public; listing on ESX is admission to the exchange so those shares can actually be traded on the board. A company can be registered for months before it lists, and several Ethiopian companies are currently registered but not yet trading.

What is the Ethiopian Stock Exchange?

The Ethiopian Securities Exchange (ESX) is Ethiopia's national stock exchange. It launched in January 2025, with securities trading commencing on July 11, 2025. It is an organised secondary market for shares, allowing investors to buy and sell stakes in listed Ethiopian companies at publicly quoted prices. It is regulated by the Ethiopian Capital Market Authority (ECMA) under Capital Market Proclamation No. 1248/2021.

Exchange listing provides regulated price discovery for admitted securities. The board above shows the latest observed quotes with their timestamps; a displayed quote does not guarantee that a new order will execute at that price.

Common questions about the ESX

Yes. The Ethiopian Securities Exchange (ESX) launched in January 2025; securities trading commenced on July 11, 2025. It is regulated by the Ethiopian Capital Market Authority (ECMA). The price board on this page shows the latest quotes available to Aksion and identifies when the market is closed or the feed is stale.

The price board shows the companies and tickers currently covered by Aksion’s ESX feed, with the latest available quotes. Check ESX’s official lists for admission status. Registration of securities with ECMA and admission to trading on ESX are separate steps; registration alone does not establish that a company is trading.

Trades must be placed through a capital market service provider licensed by ECMA - you cannot buy directly from the exchange. You open an account with a licensed broker, are assigned a CSD (Central Securities Depository) account, and place orders through the broker or the ESX Neway trading app.

ESX runs its trading session on weekdays, and prices on this page update through the session. The market status indicator at the top of this page shows whether the market is currently open, closed, or whether the price feed has gone stale.
