The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange has announced delays in the settlement of trades executed on both the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange and the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange, citing technical challenges encountered by its settlement bank.
According to a public notice issued yesterday, the delays affect trades that were due for settlement on Monday, 18 August, and Tuesday, 19 August 2025.
“ZSE Holdings is engaging with the settlement bank, and all outstanding batches will be settled once the system has been restored,” the statement read.
The bourse apologised to investors for the inconvenience caused and assured the market that corrective measures are underway to address the challenges.
Settlement is a critical part of capital market transactions, as it ensures that buyers receive their securities and sellers are paid within the agreed timeframe.
Any disruptions can affect investor confidence and trading activity.
Market analysts said while such delays are uncommon, they highlight the importance of robust settlement systems in maintaining financial stability.
