The involvement of institutional investors in African exchanges must be pursued vigorously.
Institutional investors often are at the forefront in promoting efficient market practices and
financial innovation. They typically favor greater transparency and market integrity in both
primary and secondary markets, seek lower transaction cost, and encourage efficient trading
and settlement facilities. Pension Funds, insurance houses and other institutional investors
can therefore act as a countervailing force to commercial and investment banks as well as
other market intermediaries, forcing them to be more competitive and efficient. Indeed
African exchanges stand to gain from increasing the involvement of institutional investors on
stock exchanges.

The IMF is an international organization of 185 member countries. It was established to promote international monetary cooperation, exchange stability, and orderly exchange arrangements; to foster economic growth and high levels of employment; and to provide temporary financial assistance to countries to help ease balance of payments adjustment. Since the IMF was established its purposes have remained unchanged but its operations—which involve surveillance, financial assistance, and technical assistance—have developed to meet the changing needs of its member countries in an evolving world economy.
