Old Mutual shares restart trading on Zimbabwe’s dollar-denominated Victoria Falls Stock Exchange after a six-year suspension. The shares begin trading on Wednesday at 76 US cents each, then rise 2.9% to 78.17 cents by the close.
The suspension had been in place since the shares were taken off Zimbabwe’s main stock exchange, with authorities citing the need to curb a currency rout. The re-listing brings Old Mutual back to the market under a dollar-based trading framework, reflecting Zimbabwe’s approach to conducting some transactions in foreign currency.
Across the two reports, both outlets describe the same relaunch details—opening price, first-day gain, the venue (Victoria Falls Stock Exchange), and the six-year gap since trading was suspended—without adding differing interpretations or figures beyond these trading outcomes.
