São Paulo – The Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the main stock market in South Africa, is going to adopt a program similar to the Social Stock Exchange, developed by the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa), the largest stock market in Brazil. This information was disclosed today (07) by Brazilian newspaper O Estado de São Paulo. The Social Stock Exchange finances non-governmental projects. Since 2003, the program has already generated US$ 1.6 million in funds. Investors buy "shares" of a specific project they are interested in helping.
