THE total value of shares traded on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) was down 77 percent in January to $4 billion, as the market slowed on a “wait-and-see” attitude typically assumed by most investors at the beginning of the year.
This was despite a $110 billion bump in market capitalisation to $1,45 trillion driven by high inflation.
Average daily value traded was also down by 77 percent to $195 million, while average daily volume was down 64 percent to 3,93 million shares.
