Building Africa’s transparent commodities exchange
The exchange is in development. It is not yet a live or licensed trading service, and everything described on this page is planned.
We are building a commodities exchange where producers, traders and end-users of petroleum, gold and other commodities can trade in a standardised, regulated and transparent environment. Our approach takes its lead from OPEC’s goal of stable, fair oil markets and from the World Gold Council’s principles for a responsible gold supply chain.
Four principles
Price discovery
Real-time, transparent pricing based on supply, demand and international benchmarks.
Risk management
Tools such as futures, options and hedging that let businesses lock in prices and protect themselves from price swings.
Market integrity
Clear trading rules, monitoring of every transaction, and AI-assisted checks to prevent manipulation.
Access for all
Online access that lets small producers and traders reach global buyers and better prices.
From petroleum and gold to a wider market
Over time the platform will expand to other metals, energy resources, agricultural goods and soft commodities, linking markets across borders. We are also investing in automation and advanced analytics, and connecting our trade in energy with our solar and EV work.
