Guidelines on Market Levies for 2026
The Securities and Exchange Commission of Ghana has issued binding guidelines establishing the market levy framework for the 2026 financial year. The regulations mandate fixed annual fees for licensed market operators, alongside transaction levies on equities, bonds, and repurchase agreements, as well as admission fees for fixed-income securities, all with specified payment deadlines and apportionment rules. Additionally, the guidelines impose quarterly or monthly levies on Funds Under Management based on net asset values while exempting pension funds, enforce late payment interest at the prevailing Treasury bill rate, and reserve enforcement powers for non-compliance.
