    Ghana Stock Exchange, Accra
    (2009) Nunoo, Cynthia Araba
    The recent oil discovery offshore on the west of Cape Three Points, Axim by Kosmos Energy Company on 25th February 2008 has increased the desire to invest in Ghana from all over the world. As a result of this, there is a projected boom in Ghana's economy within the next two to five years. A legal environment thus is required which will not only attract but encourage and sustain investors and traders. The estimated economic boom is expected to have an increasing effect on savings, stock trading and investment transactions. The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), the public company responsible for stock transactions in Ghana is currently constrained by limited office space to contain the administration of this expected surge in stock trading. Other institutions working hand in hand with the GSE in stock transactions are found in different distant locations within Accra which makes dealings very dysfunctional and time consuming. This thesis therefore studies the work, functions and spatial requirements of the GSE , other international stock exchanges and office spaces to propose a suitable office complex for the GSE which would project their image as well as quicken and facilitate investments, stock exchange and financial transactions to match up the anticipated economic development. The office will also house all the bodies and institutions relevant for stock transactions to quicken and facilitate the processes. Incorporated will be research facilities that encourage education and publicity in the area of savings and investment opportunities which is instrumental in enlightening the public to transform the economy positively.
