Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. Statement by the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) on the addition of Odd Lot Board on ZSE Direct

As we celebrate the first anniversary of ZSE Direct, we are excited to announce that with effect from 8 September 2021, the Odd Lot Board will now be available on ZSE Direct.
The addition of the Odd Lot Board on ZSE Direct, means that all ZSE Direct clients can now place bids or offers for volumes from 1 up to 99.

Continuous support and feedback from stakeholders has aided us to continue exploring initiatives that promote retail participation and increase Financial Inclusion.
