Stephen Grootes speaks to Haroon Bhorat, Professor of Economics at the University of Cape Town, about new research examining the steady decline in listings on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The study finds the exchange has lost a net 514 companies since 1989, with delistings significantly outpacing new listings and leaving South Africa with fewer opportunities for smaller firms to raise capital through public markets. While many exits are linked to mergers and acquisitions or firms choosing private funding, the research also highlights how weak economic growth, currency pressures, and structural shifts in global capital markets have contributed to the shrinking listings.
