The Ghana Stock Exchange has listed the first of a GH¢600 million bond raised by manufacturing firm, Kasapreko PLC onto the Ghana Fixed Income Market.

The GH¢150 million bond was 100% subscribed as the single largest capital raise on the market.

This strategic move not only underscores our unwavering commitment to sustainable growth but also signifies our confidence in Ghana’s vibrant economic eco-system” he noted.
