The bourse needs to cut red tape and let more companies in

Earlier this week, Coca-Cola hosted investors in a briefing to give them an overview of its SA-based African bottling division, where it operates, its strategy and a bit about its financial health.

Sadly, it won’t be enough to make up for what the JSE has lost or is due to lose due to a spate of delistings that, from where we stand, is nothing short of a crisis even as the boss of the exchange operator, Leila Fourie, disagrees. Sure, investors can still access a reasonably wide range of companies, and the JSE is still the main facilitator of large-scale funding to businesses. It is also true that a vast majority of small companies that leave the bourse tend to be overlooked, undervalued and discounted because their shares are tightly held by founders, making it difficult for investors, big and small alike, to easily get in and out.

For the wider economy, a stock market that is unable to retain or attract new listings, limits options for companies to raise capital for expansion at a time when the cash-strapped government’s economic revival project rests on private sector-led investment spending.
