The London Stock Exchange Africa Advisory Group attempts to look at why in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lseg.com\/sites\/default\/files\/content\/documents\/Africa_PassiveFlows_MWv10.pdf\">a report released over the weekend (pdf)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>High transaction costs and lack of liquidity among top hurdles for lack of passive investing:<\/strong> African markets classified as frontier suffer from very high transaction costs, which are proving to be among the top barriers for passive inflows. These, coupled with lower liquidity, has created a vicious cycle of market withdrawals. Together with infrequent new listings, the result is that markets are attract few new inflows, which in turn starves trading \u2014 causing foreign investors to stay out and prompting valuations to drop, according to the report. Other barriers to passive inflows identified by the report include a lack of understanding among African stakeholders around the benefits of a country classification upgrade and limited research coverage of African equities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can African policymakers overcome these barriers?<\/strong> Governments must make an active push towards a classification upgrade by engaging with indices and funds, the report suggests. It also calls for regulatory changes that should bring down transaction costs, including reducing stamp duties and capital gains taxes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LSE series on African capital markets: <\/strong>The report is part of a series of five reports on African capital markets, which you can check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lseg.com\/resources\/media-centre\/press-releases\/london-stock-exchange-group-launches-reports-african-capital-markets\">on the landing page here<\/a>. These are topics that in many ways hit close to home, as the various economic ministries and policymakers look at adopting similar or related policies.

Egypt had considered such a move, but decided against such an issuance in the current fiscal year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Developing the green bond market in Africa: <\/strong>Africa will require the continent to take advantage of green capital raising tools and sources of funding, especially as studies such suggest that the continent will be more severely affected by climate change than any other, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lseg.com\/sites\/default\/files\/content\/documents\/Africa_GreenFinancing_MWv10_0.pdf\">according to the report (pdf)<\/a>.
