Ghana Stock Exchange is Africa’s Third Worst Performing Stock Market as Nigeria Exchange Emerges Best Performer

Mr. Ekow Afedzie, MD of GSE

Mr Ekow Afedzie, the Managing Director of Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), has disclosed that despite the Exchange starting the year 2022 slowly, it witnessed a rise in trading activities on the market at the end of February.

Mr Afedzie made this known while explaining the February report released by his outfit. According to the managing Director, the number of transactions on the GSE doubled from 893 in February last year to 1,710 by the close of February this year. He however, expressed his excitement that the local bourse is finally picking up from where it left off last year.

Mr Ekow Afedzie thus, attributed the increase in transactions on the Accra bourse to the easing of restrictions on coronavirus infections, as he said “the GSE mimics the economy. When the economy performed well, the GSE also did better.”
