| Abstract: | The number of stock exchanges in Africa has more than doubled over the past decade, but most remain too small to be competitive. In this review of African bourses, Moin Siddiqi says regional integration of markets must be speeded up if they are to be internationally viable. Free markets are rapidly spreading across the continent of Africa. Most countries have implemented big structural changes, including greater openness to foreign investment, reducing red tape and a progressive relaxation of exchange controls. |
