The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) has touted the strong performance of Ghana’s capital market, revealing that the GSE Composite Index has recorded a year-to-date return of 63.4 per cent, making it the second-best performing equity market in the world as of May 2026.
The impressive performance was highlighted by the Managing Director of the Ghana Stock Exchange, Abena Amoah, during the Ghana-UK Investment Summit 2026 held in London.
Speaking on the theme, “Restoring Investor Confidence to Unlock Opportunities and Shared Prosperity,” Abena Amoah said Ghana’s capital market is experiencing a strong resurgence, creating significant opportunities for both local and diaspora investors.
She noted that the market’s strong fundamentals demonstrate growing investor confidence and the resilience of Ghana’s financial markets.
According to her, the exchange has witnessed three Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) within the last six months, marking the most active primary issuance period in nearly a decade. The IPOs collectively raised approximately GH¢2 billion, equivalent to about US$182 million.
Abena Amoah further disclosed that the equities market capitalisation has grown to GH¢263 billion, while the fixed income market is currently valued at GH¢253 billion.
She attributed the market’s continued growth to the strength of the exchange’s infrastructure, noting that the GSE has operated for 35 years on a robust, ISO-certified platform that supports transparency, efficiency and investor confidence.
Addressing members of the Ghanaian diaspora at the summit, Abena Amoah stressed that they have an important role to play in Ghana’s economic transformation.
“The Ghanaian diaspora is not on the sidelines of this story, they are central to it,” she said.
She added that as Ghana’s capital markets continue to expand, diaspora investors are uniquely positioned to participate in and benefit from the country’s economic growth.
“The infrastructure is in place. The momentum is building. And for the diaspora community, the time to be part of this success story is now,” she stated.
The Ghana Stock Exchange participated in the Ghana-UK Investment Summit 2026 at the historic Raffles London at The OWO (Old War Office), where government officials, investors, business leaders and members of the diaspora explored opportunities to strengthen investment ties between Ghana and the United Kingdom.
