The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has emerged as one of the top ten bourses globally in terms of valuation of shares traded, with its market valuation nearly doubling to Rs 60,79,892 crore ($1.31 trillion) last year.
The oldest Asian bourse saw its market capitalisation surge 93.3 per cent in the calendar year 2009 compared to 2008, in turn pushing the country’s premier exchange into the league of top ten, says a report by the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE). The Paris-based WFE is a trade association of 52 publicly-regulated stocks, futures and options exchanges.
