The African Securities Exchanges Association (ASEA) is a non-profit company limited by guarantee that was found in Kenya on the 13th of November 1993, according to Chapter 486 of the Laws of Kenya, with the aim of establishing systematic mutual cooperation and exchange of information among its members.

The association started with Nairobi Stock Exchange as the first member in 1993, followed by Mauritius, Uganda and Dar-es-Salam Stock Exchanges in the nineties. The association is currently represented by 20 exchanges in 27 African countries.

ASEA is aiming for systematic mutual cooperation, exchange of information, materials and persons together with joint programs between its African member countries.

EGX has a prominent role on the African front and has saved no efforts to support the African Capital Markets. It has presided over the African Securities Exchanges Association since September 2005, and has since had a significant contribution in promoting and reinforcing the role of the association as a central reference point for the African countries.
