Which Mauritian stock exchange, founded in 1989, operates the SEMDEX index?

The Stock Exchange of Mauritius, founded in 1989, operates the SEMDEX index.

Mauritius established its modern stock exchange as part of the development of the island’s financial-services sector. The exchange is based in Port Louis and provides markets for listed companies, government securities, and other instruments. It is regulated by Mauritius’s financial-market authorities.

SEMDEX is the exchange’s principal equity index. The name is formed from “Securities Exchange of Mauritius Index,” and it is designed to represent the performance of selected listed shares. The exchange also publishes other measures, including the SEM-10 index.

The Stock Exchange of Mauritius is sometimes confused with the Mauritius Stock Exchange as a name, but “Stock Exchange of Mauritius” is the standard English name used for the institution. It is also distinct from larger African exchanges such as the Johannesburg and Nairobi exchanges, which serve different national markets.
