Exchanges
Ranked by year-to-date index return in local currency; exchanges that publish no index return sit unranked at the end. Africa has more than twenty stock exchanges, and these are the 7 with reliable public price data today. For those whose exchanges publish no price history of their own, the stock charts and returns on this site come from the closing prices it records itself.
