SEM today has a state-of-the-art operating system, trading is effected daily for five-and-a-half hours, the settlement cycle is T+3, the total market capitalisation has crossed the USD 12 billion mark, and the internationalisation process is in full swing. They have set up a multi-currency listing, trading and capital-raising platform and modernised their listing framework to list a wide variety of multi-asset class products. Likewise, they have contributed to the democratisation of the economy by allowing 100,000+ Mauritians acquire shares in the flagship local companies, helped companies raise USD 6.5+ billion over time to fund their growth, and create value for the vast majority of issuers that have chosen to list on their platform.

SEM's transformative momentum took a new turn in 2010 when the Exchange undertook a fundamental shift of its strategic orientation, embarking with the internationalisation of its operational and regulatory framework. The outcome of this strategic shift has been quite compelling. 200+ securities are listed on SEM, cutting across different asset-classes and issued by a diverse group of local, African and international issuers. SEM's market capitalisation to GDP ratio is 90%+, which makes it the highest in Africa (excluding South Africa). SEM today boasts a streamlined listing regime catering for the specialist nature and requirements of a variety of asset classes. These cover equity products (ordinary/preference shares), debt products (fixed income/floating rate debt/specialist debt products and Eurobonds), ETFs, ETNs, DRs and Structured Products. The above products are issued and listed by domestic Issuers, International Issuers, Investment entities, Specialist companies (including GBCs), Mineral & Exploration Companies and Public sector issuers.
