The empirical properties of stock returns are studied for ten companies listed at the Suriname Stock Exchange (SSE), which is a young and growing stock market. Individual stock returns are found to be predictable from the own past to some extent, but the equal-weighted index returns are not. Dynamic correlations with large Latin American stock markets appear to be zero. It is concluded that there is much more efficiency to be gained for the SSE.
