| Abstract: | In Africa, where market returns are often correlated with world-wide commodity prices and rain, what role can the governments play in fostering the growth of their stock exchange? Governments can strive to provide a sound macroeconomic environment. This has proven instrumental to attracting long-term portfolio investments. Governments can also establish a reliable and reasonable regulatory and tax regime. Liberalising foreign exchange controls is ultimately beneficial but always delicate. |
