JSE SIMPLIFICATION PROJECT: INPUT SOUGHT ON NAMING CONVENTION PROPOSALS
- 23 August 2025

- SA Legal Academy
The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) has called for input by 5 September 2025 on draft amendments to Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) rules proposed in the context of the institution’s simplification project. The changes envisaged were announced in four Government Gazette notices each referring to the JSE’s central securities depository (CSD) naming convention but separately focusing on draft amendments to the:
- listings requirements
- debt and specialist securities listings requirements
- equity rules, and
- interest and currency derivatives rules.
Documents reflecting the amendments proposed were later published on the FSCA website, along with a JSE market notice on its rules committee decision to:
- replace all specific references to ‘Strate’ with ‘the central securities depository
- amend all related directives accordingly, and
- identify ‘Strate Limited’ as the JSE-appointed central securities depository.
‘The subject of public consultation from September 2023 to October 2024’, the simplification project focuses on JSE listings requirements. By using ‘plain language to record concise regulatory objectives’, its outcome is expected to facilitate a ‘better understanding and application of the requirements’ concerned by listed companies, sponsors and investors.
