Consolidated regional statistics* show that for the 3rd consecutive year the total number of companies traded has declined 17.8% over 1998 and a modest 3.5% over 2001. However, in 2002 the market capitalization of the region increased by 13% since year end 2001, an indication that consolidation efforts and more stringent listing requirements are making an impact on the quality and liquidity of companies traded. Equity US$ volumes posted a modest gain of 13.3% over 2001, while number of shares traded rose dramatically by 41.9%. While equity continued to be affected by global events the most promising growth was in the bond markets. Growth in US$ volume reached 91% over a year earlier and 111.5% in number of instruments traded. Comparatively speaking bonds now represent 13% of total trading volume of the FEAS region, up from 6% a year earlier. Equities have grown slightly from 13% to 17% of total trading volume for 2002, while other volume, represented by such instruments as derivatives, t-bills, currency, repo/reverse repo, etc., declined from an 81% share of total trading volume to 70%. As the 5-year statistical comparison shows other trading volume continues to have the greatest US$ value.
