Abstract

Outside an office on the second floor of the Kingsway Building, Kwame Nkrumah Avenue, Accra a bright sign cheerfully invites the visitor ‘Buy a Company Today’. It is the office of the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). In fact, it is not possible to buy a company through the GSE — any more than it would be feasible to do so through most of Sub-Saharan Africa’s other Emerging Market exchanges.1 What it is possible for African investors to do is to buy shares, and therefore partial ownership, of a range of publicly quoted companies. How important a step forward is that?
