South Africa Travel + Tourism Guide: Johannesburg Securities Exchange

JSE

The Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE) is located in Sandton, a northern suburb of Johannesburg.

The JSE was established in 1887 after the gold rush on the Witwatersrand and the first stock exchange was located in the old CBD at the corner of Commissioner and Simmonds Streets in central Johannesburg.

The exchange moved to its present location at One Exchange Square, on the corner of Maude Street and Gwen Lane in Sandton in 2000, as businesses fled the high-crime rate and urban blight in the old CBD.
