Sidama Bank Lists on Ethiopia’s Securities Exchange

Sidama Bank’s admission adds another financial institution to Ethiopia’s developing securities market, where banks have so far represented a significant share of listed companies. The Ethiopian Securities Exchange (ESX) has expanded its listed-company base during 2026, with Awash Bank, Abay Bank and Bank of Abyssinia joining the exchange during the year.

The ESX provides a regulated platform for companies to list securities and for investors to trade within Ethiopia’s formal capital-market infrastructure.

For Sidama Bank, the reported listing brings its shares into the country’s organized securities market and represents a new phase in the bank’s participation in Ethiopia’s developing capital-market system.
