Agenda Introduction and Regional Overview Market Overviews Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, Uganda, WAEMU, Zambia & Zimbabwe J.P. Morgan s Market Expansion Plans 2 I N G F O R U M: S U B S A H A R A N A F R I C A & M A R K E T E E X P A N S I O N

Introduction and Regional Overview Key Facts Challenges Most actively traded African markets: South Africa, Egypt & Morocco. Nigeria and Kenya have seen a trend for more clients to enter in the last year following a flight from these markets in late 2008/2009. Investors tend to trade in small volumes in other African markets. However interest is increasing. Increased interest in Government Debt across the emerging African markets through Primary Auctions Ghana, Kenya and Zambia. Limited opportunities for secondary trading Government debt in many markets. Investors tend to have a buy and hold strategy. Barclays sale of its subcustodian services to Standard Chartered has been approved by the regulators in most countries (Zimbabwe still pending). Standard Chartered already has a significant footprint in Africa for Commercial Banking Services and globally for subcustodian services. Transitions to the Standard Chartered custody platform should commence in Q4 2010. FX Liquidity: Small markets; big trades have literally "moved" the market. Securities liquidity challenges: Many markets have limited listings and due to the requirement of local pension funds to invest the majority of their fund locally, this results in a severe lack in availability of equities and debt. Limited infrastructure: Limited options for local brokers & subcustodians. Market regulatory framework and corporate governance still emerging. Automatic Trading Systems (ATS) & Central Securities Depository (CSD) infrastructure being implemented across the region with differing impact to investors per market. Most Sub-Saharan markets remain frontier markets with challenges around servicing big foreign institutions. WAEMU & Zimbabwe are restricted markets by J.P. Morgan. 3

Government Bonds continue to be held via the Bank of Botswana and will not be held with the CSDB. Corporate Bonds continue to be held physically.

FOP Transfers: The GSE must grant permission for a Free of Payment (FOP) transfers to be effected.

Morgan. There are no repatriation restrictions. Currency liquidity remains an issue. Market Summary & Developments 35 listed companies, 3 corporate bonds & 131 Government bonds (August 2010).

Market Summary & Developments 42 listed companies as of August 2010 with a capitalisation of USD 14.2 billion (KES 1,143 billion). Investors should be aware that the central depository established by the CBK is not supported by a separate legal framework or independent capitalization. As such, any systemic failures or risk exposures would fall under the jurisdiction of the CBK (Central Bank of Kenya). Plans to merge together the East African Bourses have been approved, which will involve the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE) of Tanzania, the NSE of Kenya and the Uganda Securities Exchange (USE), however this has stalled during 2009 and the focus at present is on an order routing system for Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda & Rwanda.

Agenda Introduction and Regional Overview Market Overviews Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, Uganda, WAEMU, Zambia & Zimbabwe J.P. Morgan s Market Expansion Plans 15 I N G F O R U M: S U B S A H A R A N A F R I C A & M A R K E T E E X P A N S I O N

Market Expansion Plans J.P. Morgan s network expansion agenda for 2010 and beyond has been developed based on a commitment to providing our clients with coverage of all markets where both sufficient infrastructure exists and there is investor interest. J.P. Morgan has done extensive research and developed expertise in emerging and frontier markets. Many of these frontier markets are in the early stages of development, making them very interesting yet challenging places to invest, especially for foreign investors. J.P. Morgan is focused on providing our clients with the support they need for new markets to create the best experience possible. The lack of well-established foreign investor activity often means that there is a need to educate local participants on the requirements of foreign investors as well as work with the local regulators and infrastructures to enhance the operating environment. J.P Morgan closely monitors a large number of new markets and is continually identifying opportunities for future expansion and prioritising these opportunities based on our clients markets of interest. Ultimately, it is our clients who drive our agenda for expansion as we embrace New Horizons. 16
