About this ranking

Value of domestic shares traded relative to their market capitalization, annualized by multiplying the monthly average by 12, in percent.

The denominator is market capitalization, rather than GDP. Compiled by WDI from the World Federation of Exchanges. A published zero is valid. The latest year varies by country.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. 3 EU countries with data in other periods have no value for 2008 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
