The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) is one of Africa's most dynamic capital markets and in recent years has been one of the world's top-performing stock exchanges by index appreciation. Located in Accra, the GSE lists 38 companies ranging from major telecoms and banks to oil and agricultural companies.

This guide covers everything you need to know about the Ghana Stock Exchange — including live prices, listed companies, how the GSE Composite Index works, and how to invest.

What is the Ghana Stock Exchange?

The Ghana Stock Exchange was incorporated in 1989 and began trading in 1990, making it one of West Africa's oldest exchanges. It is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Ghana (SEC Ghana) and operates an automated trading system five days a week from 09:30 to 15:00 GMT.

The GSE lists equities, bonds, and ETFs. All securities are denominated in Ghanaian Cedis (GHS). Settlement of trades is handled by the Central Securities Depository (CSD) on a T+3 basis — meaning trades settle three business days after execution.

GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI)

The GSE Composite Index is the primary benchmark for the Ghana Stock Exchange. It is a market-capitalisation weighted index that tracks all listed equities on the exchange, providing the most comprehensive measure of overall market performance.

As of early 2026, the GSE-CI stands at 15,700.75 — representing a year-to-date gain of over 154%, making it one of the world's best-performing major indices over the same period.

The GSE also publishes the GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI), which specifically tracks the performance of financial sector companies listed on the exchange.

Ghana Stock Exchange Listed Companies

The GSE lists 38 companies across a range of sectors. The largest companies by market capitalisation include:

MTN Ghana (MTNGH) — Ghana's largest listed company by market cap at GHS 86.4 billion. MTN Ghana is a subsidiary of the pan-African telecoms giant MTN Group and is the country's leading mobile network operator with over 28 million subscribers.
