One of Africa's oldest bourses, the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE), is introducing artificial intelligence (AI) into its market data platform to enhance operations.
This is as a result of the revamping of the platform, which is now known as Data Direct.
The bourse described it as a user-friendly and AI-powered platform that provides full ZSE and Victoria Falls Securities Exchange market data, including end-of-day reports, historical data, and access to live trading via a view-only interface.
According to Justin Bgoni, CEO of ZSE, the organisation was able to develop a user-friendly and efficient platform that fits the expectations of investors thanks to the support and good feedback obtained during the platform's soft launch on April 2025.
“The launch of Data Direct is part of our digital transformation strategy to ensure our stakeholders have easy access to market data,” Bgoni said.
“The platform leverages state-of-the-art AI to support precise and timely market reporting, giving users actionable insights that surpass conventional data analysis.”
He said Data Direct is said to offer detailed market data packages that clients can customize to meet their needs.
Clients can view and download the end-of-day reports for ten working days, whereas historical data is accessible for the chosen timeframe.
“The Data Direct platform is easy to use and was designed so that even users with minimal technical expertise can subscribe, navigate and retrieve market data easily,” Bgoni concluded.
The ZSE was previously known as the Rhodesian Stock Exchange, and it has been trading continuously since 1946.
