The Stock Exchange of Mauritius (SEM) has introduced SEMX, a dedicated segment for high-growth companies, aimed at supporting businesses with strong growth trajectories to raise capital and expand.

The segment operates under specialized listing rules tailored for these companies, including provisions for market-making to ensure liquidity. Tuesday Markets has been named the inaugural market maker for SEMX.

Eligibility for SEMX requires a compound annual growth rate of at least 25% over the past three financial years or a 100% growth rate over five years. Three companies -- Africa Eats, Elite Meat Processors, and Ziweto Holdings -- debut on SEMX on December 3, 2024.
