JOHANNESBURG STOCK EXCHANGE: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO LISTING, DEBT LISTING REQUIREMENTS

The Financial Sector Conduct Authority has gazetted notices separately calling for input by 8 December 2023 on proposed amendments to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listing and debt listing requirements under sections 18, 19 and 23 of the Financial Markets Act, 2012.

The changes envisaged follow a review of the appropriateness and composition of section 19 equity requirements and are informed by a consultation process conducted in 2022. This is according to an explanatory memorandum on what is now being proposed.

Intended to simplify and facilitate the broader application of section 19 provisions (specialist securities), once finalised the amendments are expected to:

  • make adding new types of instruments easier, and
  • align listing requirements with ‘international best practice within the local regulatory framework’.
