The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) will soon introduce two new debt markets – the Commercial Paper Market and Private Capital Market.

 

This will enable listed companies to raise short-term funds to meet their financing needs.

 

The move by the GSE is aimed at improving liquidity on the market.

The GSE has over the years suffered from challenges in the Ghanaian economy. Anytime, inflation and interest rates surge, it impact negatively on the market, leading to negative year-to-date.

 

The GSE has in the past introduce several innovation to grow the market.

 

They include the Ghana Alternative Market for Smaller and Medium Scale Enterprises and the bond market.
