The third oldest stock exchange in Africa, it was established in 1929 and currently has 14 members and 66 listed securities with a total market capitalisation of $30 billion as of December 2005.
The exchange is relatively modern, having experienced reform in 1993. The CSE installed an electronic trading system, and is now organized as two markets: the Central Market and a Block Trade Market, for block trades.
In 1997 the CSE opened a central scrip depository, Maroclear.
