The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) recorded a historic market capitalisation of GH¢251 billion as of Tuesday, March 3, 2026, marking a 56.6 per cent return for investors over the period.

Telecom giant MTN Ghana drove much of the growth, dominating trading turnover, followed by Societe Generale Ghana, Ecobank Ghana, and GCB Bank Limited. Standard Chartered Bank Ghana and Enterprise Group were the top gainers on the day.

The overall market growth reflects improved investor confidence, supported by a better macroeconomic environment and recent declines in inflation.

However, concerns remain over rising crude oil prices amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East and their potential impact on investor sentiment.

Market capitalisation measures the total value of all listed companies based on share prices and serves as a key indicator of market performance.

The GSE was recently named Africa’s best-performing stock market due to its strong equity performance.
