DR LEILA FOURIE, JSE CEO.•
On 14 – 15 November, the JSE flew to New York with Public Enterprises Minister, Pravin Gordhan and some SA companies - UBS, Standard Bank and Old Mutual, for the 7th Annual South Africa Tomorrow Investor Conference. The purpose of the conference is to build a strong investor case for South Africa with US investors.

•According to the World Federation of Exchanges, the JSE is performing better than most emerging markets. The value of trade on all global stock exchanges dropped 18% last year while the JSE fared marginally better as it recorded a 13% fall.

•Last week President Cyril Ramaphosa hosted the Investment and Job Summit conference in SA where R363 billion was pledged. And South Africa is currently hosting the Africa Investment Forum where government hopes to expand the investments into the rest of Africa. Then we end the week with a conference where SA government and private sector are standing as one at the JSE SA Tomorrow Investment Conference in New York.

•Both South African listed companies seeking foreign capital and the government will engage on SA growth opportunities with several bankers in New York in a bid to increase the pledges made to invest into the country.
