After the World Cup: “I’m bullish about the future!”

How are African capital markets doing these days? Students at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management who joined the initiative “Global Market Forum” are highly interested in this topic. They turned to Ken Ofori-Atta. The founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Databank Group in Accra, Ghana’s capital, answered the questions of Daniela Richter, who is enrolled in the Master of Development Finance at the Frankfurt School and is a co-founder of the “Global Market Forum”.

The African capital markets were at the core of the video interview: What are the risks and opportunities for investors? How does the financial crisis affect the performance of African capital markets? What are the short and medium term perspectives from Ken Ofori-Atta’s point of view?

Ken Ofori-Atta went to Achimota School in Ghana, he has a BA in economics from Columbia University (’84) and an MBA from the Yale School of Management (’88). Prior to founding Databank, Ken Ofori-Atta had worked at Morgan Stanley and Salomon Brothers in New York.
