The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) has issued Practice Note 17 of 2025, mandating the use of the Compliance Direct Platform for all official correspondence, filings, and documentation by Issuers and Brokers starting January 1, 2026.
This directive, authorized under Statutory Instrument 134 of 2019 section 3(1)(h), aims to standardize record-keeping, improve data security, and speed up processing.
Required filings include formal inquiries, regulatory reports, disclosures, and legal submissions. While routine communications like meeting scheduling or follow-ups may occur via email or phone, only submissions through the platform will be considered official.
Non-compliance will result in communications being deemed unofficial and not received by the bourse. Issuers and brokers are encouraged to adopt the platform to avoid delays and ensure proper processing.
This upgrade will significantly enhance compliance and operational efficiency at the ZSE.
