Addis Ababa, Ethiopia –The Ethiopian Securities Exchange (ESX) is proud to announce the launch of “ንዋይ / Neway,” its first web and mobile trading platforms designed to make investing in Ethiopia’s Securities Exchange convenient and accessible to everyone across the country. 

This milestone follows ESX’s strategic partnership with its technology partner, Infotech Private Limited. The mobile application is integrated into the Broker Back Office (BBO) and Order Management System availed by ESX to its trading members to streamline brokerage operations, including client onboarding, order management and reporting. 

Investor-Facing Mobile Application 

The mobile application is designed to be user-friendly, supporting both first-time and experienced investors. It allows users to remotely onboard themselves, open trading accounts, monitor market trends, execute equity and fixed-income trades securely and efficiently, and monitor their portfolio in real time. By lowering barriers to entry and transaction costs, ንዋይ / Neway is expected to broaden market participation and strengthen Ethiopia’s capital market ecosystem. 

Speaking on the occasion, Tilahun Esmael Kassahun (PhD), CEO of ESX, stated: “This day represents a significant milestone in the realization of our vision of building a world-class securities exchange in Ethiopia. With the launch of ‘ንዋይ / Neway,’ investors can now access the market anytime and anywhere. The name ‘Neway’ itself means wealth or asset, and this platform truly democratizes it. By putting the market in the hands of every Ethiopian, we are empowering them to participate directly in the country’s economic growth, while making capital market participation more inclusive, transparent, and efficient.” 

By adopting this platform, trading members of the exchange gain greater efficiency and accuracy, and investors enjoy seamless access to the market. This launch brings Ethiopia closer to a transparent, efficient, and globally competitive capital market.
