Total capitalization for South Korea's stock market edged down in March from end-2012 amid the protracted economic slump, the bourse operator said Monday.
The value of shares listed on the main board and the secondary market came at US$1.1 trillion last month, down 2.08 percent from the end of 2012, the Korea Exchange (KRX) said, citing data by the World Federation of Exchanges.
South Korea accounted for 2.01 percent of the total global stock market cap, ranking as the world's 15th-largest bourse, the KRX added.
Over the cited period, the total market cap of global bourses advanced 4.97 percent to $57.4 trillion, nearing a record $60.7 trillion set at the end of 2007.
By region, bourses from North and Latin America took up 43.2 percent of the total global stock market cap in March, trailed by Asia-Pacific with 30.6 percent and Europe, Africa and the Middle East with 26.14 percent. (Yonhap News)
