Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2024) - The Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE" or "the Exchange") today announced market statistics for July 2024.

July 2024 Operating Statistics

• CSE issuers completed 98 financings that raised an aggregate $428 million; and
• The CSE welcomed listings from three new companies, bringing total listed securities to 787 as at July 31, 2024.
