In 2019 it was absorbed by the Central African Securities Exchange [fr] (French: Bourse des valeurs mobilières de l'Afrique centrale, BVMAC) which on that occasion relocated from Libreville to Douala.

[1] The origin of the market in Douala began in a project sponsored by CEMAC having to do with creating stock exchanges in Gabon and Cameroon.

The first listing was Société des eaux minérales du Cameroun [fr] (SEMC), a subsidiary of the French company Castel Group.

DSX was owned by Association professionnelle des établissements de crédit du Cameroun (APECCAM), (Credit Association of Cameroon); by Cameroonian corporate interests; and by the government.

Later it also included Société Africaine Forestière et Agricole du Cameroun (SAFACAM) and SOCAPALM [fr].
