    International Journal of Accounting Research (IJAR) Vol. 2, No. 8, 2015 Publisher: ZARSMI, UAE, and Regent Business School, South Africa AN EVALUATION OF FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE STOCK MARKET LIQUIDITY CONSTRAINTS OR COMPANIES LISTED ON THE NAMIBIAN STOCK EXCHANGE Albert Mutonga Matongela Graduate of the Regent Business School, Durban Republic of South Africa External Supervisor Attached to the Regent Business School, Durban, Republic of South Africa Anis Mahomed Karodia akarodia@regent,ac.za Professor, Senior Academic and Researcher, Regent Business School, Durban, Republic of South Africa Abstract In 1992, the Namibian Stock Exchange (NSX) was established, amongst others, to facilitate investment in capital markets. Stakeholders have raised concerns that liquidity is low on the NSX. The African Economic Outlook has pointed out that the NSX faces the challenge of few locally issued securities and low liquidity. On its part, the Ministry of Finance is of the view that the NSX is characterized by low levels of liquidity. The aim of this research was to evaluate factors contributing to the stock market liquidity constraints for companies listed on the NSX. Key Words: Evaluation, Factors, Stock Exchange, Liquidity, Regulatory, Corporate Governance, Capital Markets Introduction Stock market liquidity is linked to savings mobilization, long-term capital investment, risk diversification, stock market development and economic growth (Ahmed, Shahbaz and Ali, 2008: 191; Antonios, 2010: 8; Omet, 2011: 4). Lack of liquidity is a serious impediment to the efficient functioning of stock markets and impacts stock prices adversely (Bokpin (2013: 2143). Liquidity is the ability to trade financial securities easily and at a low cost (Yartey, 2008: 16).

    The Reaction of Stock Prices to Dividend Announcement And

    i THE REACTION OF STOCK PRICES TO DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT AND MARKET EFFICIENCY IN NAMIBIA A THESIS/DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ECONOMICS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NAMIBIA BY Elifas Megameno Iiyambula 200634470 March 2014 Main Supervisor: Dr. R.T. Chifamba Co-supervisor(s): Ms. J. Mumangeni ii Abstract Stock prices are generally found to be very sensitive to specific changes in a number of variables. For instance, information that may be released into the market unexpectedly could cause a reaction in stock prices of firms trading on a stock exchange. This is especially true when such specific information is vital to the economy. When new information is released into the market, economic analysts might try to profit from it by taking advantage of the information asymmetry that may existent in the market. Studies of market efficiency and the reaction of stock prices to divided announcements have seldom been conducted in Namibia. This study has therefore been conducted to bridge the gap that exists in literature with regard to the impact of dividend announcements and market efficiency on stock prices in the Namibian context. The reaction of stock prices to dividend announcements and market efficiency in the Namibian Stock Market has been analysed in this study. Furthermore, the behaviour of stock prices from 2008 - 2011, using a sample of 12 out of 33 companies listed on the Namibian Stock Exchange was explored. The event study methodology (as implemented by Ball and Brown, 1968), was adopted in this study, which explores the reaction of stock prices before, during and after the event date -where the event date was defined to be the last day of trading.

    An Overview of Corporate Governance Practice in Companies Listed on the Libyan Stock Market

    Athens Journal of Business & Economics – Volume 7, Issue 3, July 2021 –Pages 287-304 An Overview of Corporate Governance Practice in Companies Listed on the Libyan Stock Market By Salem Amara The corporate governance concept has recently become a major issue in the corporate practices of both developed and developing countries alike. Corporate governance is considered to be a tremendously important topic in many countries around the world; specifically within the emerging stock markets in order to protect the minority of shareholders. The aim of this research is to investigate corporate governance practices in companies listed on the Libyan stock exchange. In particular, to investigate whether corporate governance practices in these companies meet international standards of corporate governance and to identify the main obstacles to implementing them. The concept of corporate governance, corporate governance practices in developing countries, the Libyan stock market and OECD principles of corporate governance were discussed. A close-ended questionnaire was the main method for data collection. 100 questionnaires were distributed to the participants of the study, and only 76 questionnaires usable for analysis were received. Several issues related to corporate governance, depending on OCED principles, were investigated. The results revealed that corporate governance practice in the companies under investigation fit with OCED principles of corporate governance in some aspects and do not fit in others. Furthermore, the most important obstacles were perceived impeding corporate governance practice in companies listed in the Libyan stock market are "lack of compliance with the laws governing the work of companies" and "high cost of applying corporate governance rules". (JEL G30) Keywords: Corporate governance, the Libyan stock exchange, developing countries, OCED principles of corporate governance Introduction Corporate governance is not merely the governing of a certain form of organization "a corporation", but also has a broader meaning.
