Statistics

WFE Database

We are committed to issue reliable and comparable markets statistics whose exclusive source is the data provided by member exchanges. Every year, the Federation makes efforts in order to improve the range of market data covered and increases the comparability level of the statistical information presented on its web site. For this purpose, a list of definitions and calculation methods which exchanges must follow when sending their data has been established. 

We publish Annual and Monthly Statistics for its members, while the Time Series present the main market indicators since 1990.

The Annual Statistics are the most comprehensive series of data presented here, covering a large range of exchanges’ activities, including an overview of the various market segments from the Share and Debt markets to the Parallel, “New” markets, as well as the Derivatives markets. A series of ratios (PER, Dividend yield, total return, % of market capitalization compared with GDP, etc…) are also presented, allowing for a more detailed approach of markets. Finally, a section describes the evolution of the main market data for emerging markets.

The Monthly Statistics present for each month of the year the price index levels at month-end, the share and bond turnovers in value, the market capitalization, the number of listed companies, as well as volatility and turnover ratios.
