The Ghana Stock Exchange recorded a slight decline on Wednesday, 3 December, as trading activity produced mixed results across several companies.
The GSE Composite Index, which tracks the overall performance of the market, closed at 8,599 points, down modestly from Tuesday’s finish. This indicates that, overall, the market’s total share value eased slightly.
The market capitalization, representing the combined value of all listed companies, also fell a little to GH¢166.18 billion, reflecting the small drop in overall share prices.
Investors exchanged over 2 million shares, amounting to approximately GH¢3.06 million in total value. Some companies saw their share prices rise during the session. Cal Bank advanced to 43 pesewas, Ecobank Ghana increased to GH¢23.10, and Ghana Oil Company (GOIL) inched up to GH¢2.85. These gains mean that investors holding these shares saw their investments grow slightly.
Conversely, a few companies recorded small declines. Ecobank Transnational (ETI) fell to 80 pesewas, while Scancom (MTNGH) dropped by one pesewa to GH¢4.20, reducing the value of these shares during the day.
Despite the minor dip, the stock market continues to demonstrate robust growth this year. The GSE Composite Index has risen about 76%, while the Financial Stocks Index is up 87% since January 2025, signaling sustained confidence among investors in Ghana’s economic prospects.
