Ethiopia Launches It's first Stock Market Simulator to Boost Financial Literacy

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – Ethiopia has taken a significant step toward financial market education with the launch of SLab, the country’s first stock market simulator. Developed by three Ethiopian innovators, SLab is designed to help users trade, learn, and explore capital markets in a virtual environment before the Ethiopian Securities Exchange (ESX) officially begins operations.

The platform introduces gamified, simulation-based learning tools to familiarize users with stock market structures, trading mechanisms, and regulatory frameworks. SLab offers structured educational modules, allowing participants to earn certifications at basic, advanced, and professional levels. It also includes downloadable reference documents such as the ECMA Rulebook 2025, institutional guidelines, and price limit frameworks.
