The Malawi Stock Exchange (MSE) says it registered a drop in total value of shares traded and volume in February compared to the month before, despite registering a positive return on index of 0.87 percent.

According to the report, 4.9 million shares changed hands between February 1 and 28 raising K90.2 million ($248 244.95) in 51 trades. In contrast, during the same period in 2012, the market transacted slightly over one million shares raising K19 million ($113 376.39).

But in January 2013, the market transacted a total of 20.1 million shares raking in of K167.7 million ($477 645.62) in 68 trades, reflecting a -75.16 percent increase in terms of share volume and -46.17 percent (-48.03 percent in dollar terms) decrease in share value.
