GSE ranked best-performing stock market in Africa as of August 2026
In dollar terms, the Accra Bourse placed 2nd behind the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). It recorded 59.09% return for investors.
The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) emerged as the top-performing stock market in Africa by the end of August 2026, according to a report by the Ghana Stock Exchange. The exchange delivered a remarkable 71.27% return for investors in local terms, placing it ahead of Nigeria's Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), which registered a 59.09% return.
Nigeria's market, however, outperformed both GSE and NSE with an impressive 153% return for investors in dollar terms as of August 31, 2026. The GSE's success can be attributed to low inflation, while the exchange rate has experienced some fluctuations, depreciating by around 7% against the US dollar. Despite this, market activity remained strong, with 140,323 transactions recorded, a 456.44% increase compared to the same period last year.
The top-performing stocks of July 2026 included Intravenous Infusions PLC, Hords PLC, Clydestone (Ghana) PLC, Cocoa Processing Co. PLC, Ecobank Ghana PLC, Scancom PLC, Standard Chartered Bank Pref. Shares, and Tullow Oil PLC.
