About this ranking

Annual value of shares traded as a percentage of GDP. Each transaction is counted once and can include domestic and foreign shares.

Exchanges used different methods to count trading activity before 2001, which limits historical comparisons. Compiled by WDI from the World Federation of Exchanges. The latest year varies by country.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. 28 countries with data in other periods have no value for 2007 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
