GSE-CI Closes the Year With 2,789.34 Points, Defies Predictions

The primary equity benchmark, the Ghana Stock Exchange’s Composite Index (GSE-CI) ended the year lower than most research firms predicted.

According to figures contained in research published by indigenous investment bank, Databank, in its outlook for the final quarter of the year, it predicted the Composite Index to close the year at 2,817 points mark. It seemed the GSE-CI was on course to surpass the analysts prediction when it hit 2,800 points with few weeks to end the year. Nonetheless, final day losses suffered by the Ghana Stock Exchange sent the index on a downward spiral.

The benchmark GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) shed 11.74 points on the final trading session of the year 2021, representing 0.42 percentage points to close the year at 2,789.34 points, falling short of the Databank’s Research predictions by 27.66 points. The final day’s loss led to a week on week loss of 0.31 percent, a monthly loss of 2.7 percent, but an overall year-to-date gain of 43.66 percent on the benchmark composite index.
