FLASHBACK
2006: CCA
and NYSE Cooperate in Historic African
Presidents Program
The
presidents of Liberia, Mozambique and
Tanzania participated in a historic
program at the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) this past Friday. The event was
organized by the Corporate Council on
Africa and the NYSE to honor the
commitment of each of the presidents to
promote trade and investment opportunities
in their countries. The program began with
a private meeting between the presidents
and the NYSE Chief Executive Officer, Mr.
John Thain. In that meeting the presidents
discussed economic conditions in their
respective countries and the opportunity
for a "training program" at the NYSE for
traders from African countries. Mozambique
and Tanzania have stock exchanges, while
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said that
she hoped to establish a stock exchange in
Liberia in the longer-term. Thain remarked
that he was open to building relationships
with African countries. He also said that
he was pleased to be part of the historic
meeting. This was the first time in the
exchange's history that three heads of
state had participated in a bell ringing
ceremony.
After
the ringing of the closing bell; the
presidents were presented with a gift from
the NYSE and also signed the exchange's
guestbook. The visit underscored Africa's
rising importance in the global economy.
It also helped showcase Africa and African
opportunities to a U.S. investment
audience.
This
is the second time that CCA and the NYSE
have worked together to promote Africa in
the U.S. CCA's Acting Vice President of
Programs, Ambassador Joseph Huggins, who
organized this
historic
event, also orchestrated Botswana's
President Festus Mogae's ringing of the
closing bell at the exchange in
2005.
