Khartoum bourse launches electronic trade

The Khartoum stock exchange launched a long-awaited computer trading system that will end an era of scribbling stock prices on white boards and also marks Sudan's efforts to attract more investment.
But none of the 40 stocks listed on the display in the new trading room moved in the first 45 minutes. Trading center its attention as always on government-issued Islamic bonds which changed hands for 114,036 Sudanese pounds.
