Last week the Ghana Stock Exchange commemorated its 30th anniversary having commenced trading on November 12, 1990. While there is plenty to celebrate in terms of its achievements as an institution for mobilizing long term capital for business financing and enriching investors in this process, most equity investors on the market currently are not particularly enthused with the way the values of the share holdings are contracting.
Between the start of 2020 and November 12, the GSE Composite Index (CSE – CI) which tracks the weighted average price change for all the equities listed on the stockmarket, had fallen by 19.29 percent while the GSE Financial Index (GSE-FI) which tracks the weighted average change in the financial services sector’s listed equities had fallen by 19.63 percent.
