Notes to table: GS - government serial securities; CS - corporate serial securities; corporate bonds - corporate serial debt securities; Equities - equity securities certifying the right of its holder for a certain share in the property; "direct" repo - repo transactions carried out by "direct" method (with conclusion of direct opening and closing repo deals); auto repo - repo transactions carried out automaticly; 'n/t' - no trade held. Currency swap transactions and repo exchange additionally provides (calculated) turnover (calculated based on all executed opening and closing deals), which is not accounted for in indicator "TOTAL trade volume", in aggregate indicator for exchange market sector and in indicator "including". Trade volume and exchange (calculated) turnovers are calculated on all executed exchange deals, concluded by any possible KASE trade method. Information on securities (bonds) of IFO, FGS, notes and futures is not provided due to absence of deals in such instruments in the compared periods.
It is to be reminded that beginning January 1, 2009 KASE switched to a new methodology on summarizing trading statistics for the reported period based on application of the two indicators:
- trade volume (this is a new indicator showing total gross volume of deals);
- exchange (calculated) turnover (this is a traditional indicator which was released earlier under names "volume of trades", "exchange turnover", "trade volume", "total volume of deals" and other similar in meaning names).
The indicators may be distinguished on repo transactions market and currency swap transactions market, as each of such transactions are comprised of two deals - opening and closing deals.
The volume of trades on repo transactions market and currency swap transactions market shall comprise only opening deals (currency swap transactions opening deals - provided such transactions are carries out in the exchange market sector specifically launched for such purposes). That is an indicator of trade volume currently shall account only sums attracted on repo transactions and currency swap transactions.
The exchange (calculated) KASE turnover, as earlier, counts volumes (in tenge with subsequent recalculation in dollar equivalent) of all executed repo transactions closing deals and currency swap transactions closing deals; at that only deals falling on to the reporting period shall be accounted for.
The purpose of the described changes is bringing KASE statistical reports to the standards mostly used in the world exchange practice. Results of the researches made by KASE show exchanges use the indicator of volume of trades when publishing statistics.
In 2009 KASE is planning to publish both of the indicators (in comparison with existing historical date), and beginning 2010 shall release only volume of trades indicating the value of exchange (calculated) turnover in specialized cases only.
