The 2012/13 budget read in Parliament last week appears to have little
ripple effect on trading at the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE) speech so
far due to the small number listed companies, a stock broker has said.
The Tanzania Securities Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mr Moremi Marwa
said the bourse was yet to exhibit the impact on its trading as a result of the
budget due to small number of listed companies.
“So far, we haven’t see major issues in the budget that may affect the
Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange,” Mr Marwa said over the weekend. “Let’s wait
until the bill is debated in the house to shed light on further developments,”
the CEO added.
According to the Tanzania Securities weekly report, dealers expect the market
to maintain moderate to high activity levels toward the end of this financial
year.
“Looking ahead therefore, we continue to expect a moderate to high
activity levels … as sustaining forces of institutional investors continue to
hold the market afloat during the current period,” the report shows.
Last week the bourse indices gained slightly, whereby the Tanzania
Share Index (TSI) gained 0.66 per cent to end the week at 1,178.06 points and

Overall, the market’s performance was pushed up by NMB share gain of
