South Africa is one of the top-performing markets in the world, according to new findings by CNN Money<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recording overall growth of 9.72% amongst listed companies on the JSE, South Africa ranks 22nd out of 74 countries measured by the group.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, however, South Africa is only the second-best performer on the continent, with Namibia’s stock market delivering returns of 9.58% since January to June 27th, ranking a spot above SA at 21st overall.<\/p>\n

Argentina’s market has made the greatest gains, globally, with 46.63% growth during the course of the year, while Hungary (59th) has had the smallest gain of 0.01%.<\/p>\n

On the other side of the spectrum, Britain (60th) has made the smallest contraction thus far at 0.03%, while Jamaica has made the biggest loss in the global stage, seeing 12.93% swiped off the market.<\/p>\n
