(“JSE”)


JSE Limited (previously the JSE Securities Exchange and the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange)[3] is the largest stock exchange in Africa. It is located in Sandton,
Johannesburg, South Africa, after it moved from downtown Johannesburg in
2000.[4][5] In 2003 the JSE had an estimated 473 listed companies and a market
capitalisation of US$182.6 billion (€158 billion), as well as an average monthly traded
value of US$6.399 billion (€5.5 billion).[6] As of March 2022, the market capitalisation of
the JSE was at US$1.36 trillion.[2]

History
The discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand in 1886 led to many mining and financial
companies opening and a need soon arose for a stock exchange. The first share
transactions on the Rand took place in a rustic canvas tent, with trade taking place on
Sundays, as this was the only day when mining was not allowed, owing to a strictly
enforced regulation prohibiting the entry of African workers to the gold reefs.[7][8]
