Presently, there is no market wide infrastructure for secondary market activities in Ghana. However, the Central Securities Depository (CSD) system has a screen through which pre-negotiated trading activities among depository participants are reported, cleared and settled.

 

All trades that are reported in the system by parties are auto matched by the systemThis is purely an Over The Counter (OTC) transaction whereby counter parties negotiate the price of underlying securities.

The CSD undertakes settlement of both cash and securities between the parties engaged in the pre-negotiated trade agreement. All market transactions are cleared and settles at the end of the day. 

Any investment or transaction in government securities can be effected only through the accredited agents of the depository known as Depository Participant.
