Mission
At the heart of Bourse Africa’s mission lies the drive to ensure that Africa and its people can better benefit from being pivotal suppliers of the raw and processed commodities on which world economic growth depends. As a dynamic agent for beneficial change, providing the instruments and institutions that unleash the entrepreneurial energies of all stakeholders in the African commodity ecosystem, including the smallest and most vulnerable among them, Bourse Africa serves to facilitate advantageous engagement with globalising commodity markets and remove barriers to equitable and sustainable trade wherever they exist.
Vision
Bourse Africa is a commodity spot and derivatives exchange offering multi-asset class trading to serve markets across Africa providing an efficient, secure, transparent and trustworthy exchange mechanism (and supporting institutions) to facilitate price discovery and mutually beneficial trade, financing, risk management and investment between participants from across African markets, and between African and international participants.
Tailored to the needs of Africa and Africans, and embodying the Continent’s spirit, energy, values and culture, Bourse Africa works to increase the opportunity for all participants to successfully interact on a level playing-field; nurturing the Continent’s vast untapped potential by building skills and capabilities where they do not already exist; creating institutions and networks that enhance value addition and risk management; and fostering economic and social development in close collaborative partnership with governments, the private sector, civil society, and the international community.
