corporate governance.

“The program brings together experienced industry professionals with the prospective issuers and provides guidance and support on their listing journey. Through this programme, we aim to
empower prospective issuers with the necessary knowledge, tools and support,” Bgoni said.

He added: “The prospective issuers program strives to demystify the seemingly complex process and provide clear guidance to
companies seeking to list.”
