CFA Institute Research Foundation Issues First African Capital Markets Brief.
The CFA Society South Africa, part of the worldwide network of CFA Institute member societies, showcases today the first compendium of essays about African Capital Markets. Produced by the CFA Institute Research Foundation in collaboration with the African Securities Exchanges Association (ASEA) and CFA societies in Africa, the brief includes perspectives on the history, current developments, and outlook for ten of the leading markets across the Africa continent.
African markets have experienced rapid transformation. However, they face fundamental challenges within a range of market conditions from rapidly emerging economies, to countries with a long history of financial markets. For prospective investors, the essays offer insights on how changing regulation, evolving financial technology, and expanding investor access are transforming opportunities across the continent.
Markets covered in the brief are: Botswana, East Africa, Egypt, Ghana, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa and Namibia, and Zimbabwe. To access the compendium, please visit http://www.cfainstitute.org/en/research/foundation/2019/African-capital-markets.
“The capital markets in today’s Africa are fairer, faster, and deliver lower-cost of participation for more market participants. Every piece in this compendium reflects our desire to partner with strong African entities and local CFA societies to provide authoritative insights and analysis for current or prospective investors in the African capital markets. I hope it will stimulate and engage discussion among the broadest range of investment industry stakeholders, including cross border, regional and continental investors.”
Karim Hajji, President, African Securities Exchanges Association (ASEA) added:
“For African bourses to attain a desirable level of competitiveness and live up to their economic and social mandate, they must attract international inflows in a sustainable way. This newly issued compendium of Africa essays from CFA Institute Research Foundation offers a leading resource of information and data for our continent, set to further inform industry participants and investors in our continent’s future.”
