Stock Markets in Africa

Without major recognition by the big capital markets and capital flows as well 18 stock exchanges have been established in Africa. Among them is one - almost unique of its type - uniting the 8 francophone countries of the CFA-zone. This page should just serve for giving a brief idea. For more information we suggest the African Stock Markets Handbook, that can be downloaded at the UNDP-Website.
 
Below find a spread sheet showing the performance of stock markets in Sub-Saharan Africa in US-Dollar, not in local currency, for better comparison. Compared to the overall performance of world stock markets in recent years it is not too bad. The cumulative figures include also dividends.
