The New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) has objected to the JSE's bid for the Bond Exchange of South Africa, saying the bid is too low. The JSE last month made a conditional offer to buy the Bond Exchange for R173,22million. Yesterday, the NZX, which bought 22percent of Besa's shares a month ago, said the JSE's offer of R90 a share was "not a true reflection of Besa's current, or likely, future value". - Tamlyn Stewart
