GSE MD elected to International Capital Market Association Board

 The Managing Director of the Ghana Stock Ex­change (GSE), Ms Abena Amoah, has been elected onto the Board of the International Capi­tal Market Association (ICMA).

This marks a historic mile­stone as Ms Amoah becomes the first West African to serve on the prestigious board, highlighting the growing influence and rec­ognition of West Africa’s capital markets on the global stage.

A statement issued by GSE in Accra yesterday and copied to The Ghanaian Times said Ms Amoah’s election marked a significant milestone not only for Ghana but for West

Africa’s representation in shaping global capital market standards and practices.

“Her inclusion on the ICMA Board is a testament to her decades-long leadership and contribution to financial markets development across West Africa, as well as GSE’s growing rele­vance on the global stage,” the statement said.

“I am honoured to join the ICMA Board and to have the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing development of global capital markets,” said Ms Amoah.

“This election reflects the progress we are making in Ghana and West Africa, and I look forward to bringing our unique perspectives and aspirations to the table,” she added.

The statement said the ICMA Board comprises leaders from some of the world’s most influ­ential capital market institutions, providing strategic guidance on the association’s mission to support efficient and sustainable capital markets.

It said Ms Amoah’s election aligned with ICMA’s commitment to inclusivity and expanding its reach to emerging and frontier markets.

“The Ghana Stock Exchange congratulates Ms Amoah on this landmark achievement and remains committed to working with global partners to advance the capital markets agenda,” the statement said.
