TO STUDY ABOUT IMPORTANCE OF STOCK EXCHANGE IN ZAMBIAN CONTEXT

Abstract

International emerging markets have attracted the attention of researchers and economists, especially during the current economic crisis and due to their high potential for development and their capacity to grow faster than the developed economies. A stock exchange market or equity market is a public entity for the trading of company stock (shares) and derivatives at an agreed price. Zambians now have an opportunity to diversify their investment with the establishment of the Lusaka stock exchange which provides a pitch on which ordinary Zambians can hold of listed companies.

This research was conduct due to the surveillance that many people and organizations in Zambia have the mentality of serving their surplus fund or profit in banks rather than investing in stocks or share.
