2.4 A Case Study of Sudan Stock Market
2.4.1 Brief History The idea of establishing the Khartoum Stock Exchange (KSE) was came up in 1962. The beginning was the establishment of the financial markets body and during that period several studies were done by participation with financial institutions of the World Bank. There were also consultations with commercial banks, the Federation of Industries, insurance companies and the Sudanese Development Foundation. In the mid-seventies, the Khartoum Stock Exchange Act approved by the State Council in 1982, in order to control the establishment of the KSE in Sudan, but nothing had been done until 1992.
the nineties and it was done in the light of the policy of economic liberalization which had been advocated by the tripartite Economic Salvation program (1990-1993).
In November 1992, a council of ministers approved an amendment to the stock exchange market act in 1982. But this amended act could not meet all purposes for establishing a stock exchange. Therefore, the Khartoum Stock Exchange Act, born in 1992 and approved by the Transitional National Council in June 1994, was the result of the legally independent Khartoum Stock Exchange. Thereafter, was formed the Executive Management Council, which is composed of a President and 13 members. The Council has issued the general regulations list, the settlement conditions list and the rules for circulation of securities. The work on the market began on the tenth of October 1994; the second of January 1995 was the opening date of the secondary market (KSE, n.d).
KSE was able to establish a number of relationships with emerging markets in the Arab and African countries. The first relationship was with the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) which was requested to send an expert to provide second thoughts on the vision entertained by the Sudanese experts on the establishment of a Capital Market as mentioned earlier. Another relation was with the Amman Market in Jordan, from where an expert was contacted to help in the improvement of the laws governing the market at that time. Since then, KSE is operating on its own and was able to build a good and fair level of expertise by undertaking intensive and extensive training for the local staff in various Arab and

other markets. KSE‘s other relation was with Egypt‘s Cairo and Alexandria Stock Exchanges as well as the Amman Stock Exchange in Jordan. KSE was able to establish a good working relationship with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait emerging markets. More important is the entry of KSE in the data centre about emerging markets in the Arab Monetary Fund (AMF).
KSE followed closely, the system of indexing, applied by the AMF in order to be in line with other emerging Arab markets. This has enabled KSE to be known to other emerging markets (Ali, 2007). Larger and more regionally orientated firms that are able to cross list securities with other markets are largely limited to Sudatel Company, between Bahrain and Abu Dhabi, and Al Salaam Bank, with Dubai and Bahrain. Encouragement of cross listing of major firms which acts, not only to raise domestic awareness of the exchange but also to facilitate the harmonization of accounting and auditing standards with best practice overseas. Consequently, the dual listings of both Sudatel company and Al Salaam bank with the Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Bahraini Exchanges which largely conform to Organization for Economic Co- operation and Development (OECD) regulatory and disclosure standards enables the diffusion of technical skills and experience for the benefit of the domestic home market.
