The Johannesburg Stock Exchange has engaged with Nigeria's Dangote Group and said the company could list its petroleum refinery in South Africa after a Nigerian IPO, a spokesperson told Reuters on Wednesday.
- "They will list in Nigeria first but with strong intent to hopefully bring the listing to South Africa," the JSE said in an emailed response to Reuters questions.
- The company is aiming to raise $5 billion in an initial public offering, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
- Sources told Reuters that the group has made a preliminary filing with the Nigerian regulator for the refinery IPO, targeting an October listing.
- One of the sources said the group wants regional capital markets to take part, with Kenya potentially raising $500 million.
- Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, built the refinery at a cost of roughly $20 billion. It started fuel production in 2024 and reached full capacity earlier this year.
- The 650,000 barrel per day refinery is Africa's largest, and Nigerian state oil firm NNPC holds a stake of just over 7%.
