2.4.5 Market Capitalization
Market capitalization is seen as an indicator of the
rate of growth in the
market. Secondary market capitalization has risen from an initial US$44 million in
1995 to US$4,931 million in 2007(Figure 2.8).
The market capitalization to GDP
ratio is critical in evaluating the impact of the market faced by the local business
community wishing to raise funds. Figure 2.9 shows that the market capitalization to
GDP ratio increased gradually during 1995-2007 except in 2007. Nevertheless, the
market capitalization to GDP ratio was less than 13 percent which is extremely low
when it is compared with other Arab countries.
