Value Proposition
- The strategic location of Mauritius (i.e. GMT +4) with respect to the rest of the world will enable the investing community to hedge price risk movements vis-à-vis the Asian, European and American markets.
- GBOT will bring all of the African investing and trading community into the markets alongside other entities from different parts of the world, thereby creating a large liquidity pool.
- Trades will be in the form of standardized contracts and participants will be anonymous, thus ensuring the price discovery process will be free from the influence of any vested interest or non-market forces.
- The market segments of GBOT will enable sellers and buyers of commodities and currencies to protect their businesses from the adverse effects of price volatility in the terrestrial markets. This price risk management will be through the time-tested process of ‘hedging’.
- The interplay between regional and global market forces on GBOT will pave the way for a vibrant pan-Africa common market.
- The advantage of a moderate tax regime prevailing in Mauritius will be of immense benefit to investors and traders alike.
