ESX Launches Neway Mobile Trading App to Expand Capital Market Access

As reported by Ethiopian Monitor

Summary

• The Ethiopian Securities Exchange (ESX) launched its first investor-facing digital platform, called Neway, on March 5, 2026. The app is available on iOS and Android and via web browser. It allows investors to open trading accounts remotely, execute equity and fixed-income trades, and track portfolios in real time.
• Neway is integrated with ESX's Broker Back Office and Order Management System, helping trading members manage client onboarding and order execution. The platform was developed in partnership with technology provider Infotech Private Limited. ESX plans to introduce market indices by June 2026 and is working on frameworks to allow foreign investor participation.
• For BirrValue users, the Neway app is relevant for diaspora and domestic investors who want to participate in the Ethiopian capital market. As more banks list on the ESX, investors will be able to buy shares in institutions like Dashen and Bank of Abyssinia directly from their phones.
