Biggest share markets in the world

Not surprisingly, the United States maintained its dominant position among world share markets during the March Quarter 2002, although its overall weighting slipped marginally from 54.0% to 53.7%. This is just below the record level of 54.2% it reached three years ago.

The main countries to increase their market share were Japan, Germany and Canada. Australia also did well, thanks to a slight rise in equity prices and a further recovery in the A$.
