Zimbabwe Stock Exchange market capitalisation increases to $4 million.
The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) market capitalization increased by $200 million in December to $4 billion. The end of year market capitalization is a major improvement, as during the year the market capitalization ranged from $2,6 billion to $3,3 billion.
