The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) on Tuesday (02 August), reported a strong performance for the first half of 2022, delivering revenue growth across all segments.
Headline earnings per share increased by 29% year-on-year to 542.7 cents per share, while operating revenue was up 10% to R1.35 billion.
“Throughout this period, uncertainty in the markets manifested in volatility and higher trade activity. The depth of the JSE’s operational capabilities has ensured resilience during these volatile periods,” said Leila Fourie, Group CEO at the JSE. The group launched its JSE Private Placements , an automated and digitised platform that offers services to private entities looking to raise debt or equity. The online solution connects private companies and issuers directly to investors, enabling private capital formation in a more transparent, efficient, and accessible manner. Since its launch in January 2022, JPP has eleven issuances year to date and over R10 billion in investor capital onboarded, the group said.
