## Executive summary

African exchanges differ by listings, trading session, settlement infrastructure, regulator and currency. This report connects the statistics dataset with operational and regulatory datasets for clean citation.

## Highlights

- Exchange comparison should include trading hours, settlement cycles and regulator context.
- Listing count bands are useful for discovery but should be checked against official exchange rosters.
- Settlement rules affect when cash and securities are fully available after execution.
- Official exchange and regulator pages remain the source of truth for live rule changes.

## What the statistics cover

The statistics dataset covers supported exchanges, countries, currencies, listed-company count bands, trading hours, settlement cycles, regulators and official source links.

## How to use the report

Use the report to compare market structure and then move to exchange pages, country pages or buy guides for investor-specific access details.

## Verification standard
