Most young Africans don't know the Ghana Stock Exchange exists.
The ones who do think it's "for rich people."
Both groups are leaving money on the table.
Here's what the GSE actually is and why you should care 🧵

Today is dividend payment day for MTNGH and MMFL shareholders.
Both companies are paying GH¢0.03 per share. If you own 1,000 shares of MTNGH and 1,000 shares of MMFL, your gross dividend will be:
(1,000 × GH¢0.03) + (1,000 × GH¢0.03) = GH¢60.00
After the 8% withholding tax:
GH¢60.00 × 8% = GH¢4.80 tax
Net dividend received = GH¢55.20
This is why dividends matter. While many focus only on capital gains, investors are also being paid simply for owning quality businesses.
