Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange, Stock exchange located in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
The Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange is a financial market in Tanzania where companies sell their shares and investors buy and trade them. The building features modern technology with large screens displaying live stock prices, and trading happens electronically in an organized manner.
The exchange was founded in 1996 and began operations in 1998, with Tanzania Oxygen Limited as the first listed company. Since then it has evolved steadily, adding new trading products including bonds and a separate market segment for smaller companies introduced in 2013.
The exchange is a place where business professionals gather daily to work with focus and intensity, shaped by a culture of speed and precision. People here dress formally and communicate deliberately, reflecting that this is a serious place where financial decisions are made.
Visitors can view the trading floor during business hours Monday to Friday, with large screens displaying price movements and active trading. To trade yourself, you need to open an account with a licensed broker and place orders through a brokerage firm or the exchange's mobile app.
Since 2020, the exchange has offered a mobile trading app called Hisa Kiganjani that lets people buy and sell shares directly from their smartphones. This innovation has made financial markets more accessible to ordinary citizens and simplified participation significantly.
