The Ethiopian Capital Market Authority has approved the registration of 3 million existing Oromia Insurance S.C. shares, a required step for securities offered to the public. The notice clarifies that the registration is not an endorsement or an offer to sell.
The Ethiopian Capital Market Authority (ECMA) has registered 3 million existing shares of Oromia Insurance S.C., according to a public notice issued by the regulator. The registration was approved on September 30, 2026.
The action is based on Article 75 of the Capital Market Proclamation No. 1248/2021 and Articles 4 and 29 of the Public Offer and Trading of Securities Directive No. 1030/2024. These rules require all securities offered to the public to be registered with the ECMA.
The registered shares are existing shares held by current shareholders of Oromia Insurance. The notice did not indicate any new share issuance or capital raise.

The ECMA stated that the public notice is solely intended to inform the public about the registration. It should not be interpreted as an endorsement of the securities, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy.
This registration is a regulatory step for Oromia Insurance as Ethiopia continues to build out its capital market infrastructure. The Ethiopian Securities Exchange (ESX) has already begun trading shares of banks, and insurance companies are expected to follow as more firms meet public offering and registration requirements.
The notice did not provide a timeline for any future public offer or listing of Oromia Insurance shares on the ESX.
