GSE Tops Africa: Adjudged the Best Performing Stock Market on the Continent in Quarter 1

The Ghana Stock Exchange fended off competitions from other African stock markets on the continent as it ended the first quarter of this year as the best performing stock market in Africa.

The local bourse ended the first quarter with an annual return of 14.62 percent in dollar term for investors. The impressive performance of the market translated into an improved market capitalization of GH¢57.16 billion at the end of March this year.

The cedi’s recent stability and performanc compelled investors to shift their interest to the stock market because they will accrue more return than investing in the dollar.
