Introduction: Stock Market Development in Sub-Saharan Africa
| |
| This paper examines the economic importance and the future of African stock markets. It
seeks to shed light on the controversial link between stock market and economic growth—
from both corporate finance and macroeconomic perspectives. It also discusses policy
options for promoting the development of the stock market in Africa. |

III. STOCK MARKET DEVELOPMENT IN SUB SAHARAN AFRICA:TRENDS AND CHARACTERISTICS
| |

1990s. Prior to 1989, there were just five stock markets in sub-Saharan Africa and three in
North Africa. |

IV. THE STOCK MARKET AND THE FINANCING OF CORPORATE GROWTH IN AFRICA

examines the contributions of the stock markets to the financing of corporate growth in
Africa. |

VI. A. Macroeconomic Stability: WHAT DETERMINES STOCK MARKET DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA?
| |
| The previous section has provided enough evidence to make a convincing case that stock
market development at least creates the enabling environment for a successful economic
growth. The policy question, therefore, is what determines stock market development? The
literature suggests that sound macroeconomic environment, well developed banking sector,
transparent and accountable institutions, and shareholder protection are necessary
preconditions for the efficient functioning of stock markets in Africa. |

VII. A. Automation: PROMOTING STOCK MARKET DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA
| |
| The results from the previous sections show that African stock markets are small, illiquid,
with infrastructural bottlenecks and weak regulatory institutions. Despite these problems,
stock markets in Africa have helped in the financing of the growth of large corporations but
there is little evidence of broader economic benefits. How do you make the stock market
more beneficial to African countries? |

|
VII C Regional Integration :PROMOTING STOCK MARKET DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA
| |
| Another proposed solution to problems faced by African stock markets is to integrate stock
exchanges. |

|
VIII. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: Stock Market Development in Sub-Saharan Africa
| |
| Over the past few decades, the world stock markets have surged, and emerging markets have
accounted for a large amount of this boom. In Africa, new stock markets have been
established in Ghana, Malawi, Swaziland, Uganda, and Zambia. The rapid development of
stock markets in Africa does not mean that even the most advanced African stock markets
are mature. |

Different Types of Stock
| |
| The different types of stock are what confuse most first time investors. That confusion causes people to turn away from the stock market altogether, or to make unwise investments. If you are going to play the stock market, you must know what types of stock are available and what it all means! |
