The Somali Stock Exchange (SSE), also known as the Somalia Stock Exchange, is the national bourse of Somalia founded by SEF.


Overview

The Somali Stock Exchange (SSE) was founded by the management of the Somali Economic Forum (SEF), whose principal aim is to encourage Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Somalia’s growing economy.

. Historically, shares in Somali businesses have been bought and sold informally through close networks. However, economists have noted that in recent years, the emergence of various stock exchanges in African states has played a pivotal role in fostering economic and private sector growth. The substantial demand for capital is increasing by the day for Somali businesses, consisting of both large firms and SME’s. According to the latest figures, the capital inflow to Somalia is increasing and it is being driven by both the Somali diaspora and foreigners. The SSE has created an new capital market, where buyers of financial securities can do business with sellers in a more organised, formal, secure and profitable way. The aim was to create a sustainable capital market in Somalia, where holders of financial securities such as stocks, bonds and buyers or investors can meet and share in long-term growth.
