Investors received GH¢37bn in dividends, nearly GH¢800m in bond coupons – GSE MD

Investors in companies listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange received GH¢37 billion in dividends over the past 12 months, while investors in corporate bonds and commercial paper earned nearly GH¢800 million in coupon payments, Managing Director of the Ghana Stock Exchange, Abena Amoah, has disclosed.

The disclosure comes as the Ghana Stock Exchange continues to encourage more businesses to consider the capital market as an alternative to traditional bank financing.

Ms Amoah is therefore urging more Ghanaian companies to tap into the market as the exchange seeks to expand the role of domestic capital in financing economic growth.
