Monday, 12 September 2016, sees the launch of the SEM All Share Index ("SEM-ASI") and the SEM Volume Weighted Average Price Index ("SEM-VWAP") by the Stock Exchange of Mauritius ("SEM") in a bid to internationalise its platform.

SEM-ASI

The SEM-ASI has been designed to comprise all the companies listed on the Official Market that meet the SEM's free-float requirements, including rupee-based companies, as well as foreign-currency denominated companies.

The SEM-ASI will now include and track the performance of Global Business Category 1 Companies ("GBC1") not previously included in current index, the SEMDEX, to give a more accurate reflection of the size of the Mauritian market and add to the substance of its international financial centre.
