As the Ghana Fixed Income Market (GFIM) marks its 10th anniversary, it does so on a triumphant note crossing the GH¢1 trillion mark in total securities traded since inception, a milestone that reflects both resilience and recovery in Ghana’s capital market.
The announcement was made by Abena Amoah, Managing Director of the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), at the launch of the GFIM’s 10th Anniversary Celebration in Accra on Wednesday, November 5, 2025.
Ms. Amoah described the achievement as a testament to the strength and adaptability of Ghana’s financial system, noting that trading volumes have bounced back sharply in 2025, with more than GH¢200 billion worth of securities exchanged between January and October alone.
“From its modest start in 2015, when just GH¢5.2 billion in securities were traded between August and December, the market grew exponentially, peaking at GH¢230 billion in 2022,” she recounted.
The rebound comes after the turbulence of the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP), which disrupted investor activity and slowed down bond trading across the country’s financial markets. However, the recent surge indicates renewed investor confidence, supported by improving macroeconomic indicators and policy stability.
Over the past decade, the GFIM has become a cornerstone of Ghana’s capital market, offering opportunities for banks, pension funds, and individuals to invest in both government and corporate bonds. Its evolution from a fledgling platform to a trillion-cedi marketplace mirrors Ghana’s broader journey toward financial inclusion and capital market development.
“As we celebrate this 10-year milestone, our goal is to build an even more transparent, dynamic, and accessible market that supports national development,” she said.
The anniversary celebrations will feature stakeholder forums, market exhibitions, and public education initiatives designed to promote financial literacy and deepen participation in the fixed income market.
