MTN Ghana opened a historic Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the country that will see it raise as much as US$743 million in fresh capital. The IPO is the largest ever undertaken by the country and if successful could set the stage for other companies to test the market.

The IPO is also unique in that it is the first ever IPO globally on any stock exchange in which shares can be purchased through mobile money.
