Comments: The KASE index reflects the changes in the bids on the shares from the official list of the Exchange's securities of the category "A", including the market capitalization of their issuers. The capitalization of the bond market - indicator that reflects the volume of corporate debt circulating on the KASE as the bonds of the companies. It is calculated on the basis of the number of issued bonds and the bonds admitted to the trades and their market values. In case of the absence of the last figure, face value is used instead. The capitalization of the share market - indicator that reflects the market capitalization of the companies whose shares were entered into all the lists of the KASE securities. It is calculated on the basis of the number of issued shares and their last market values. In case of the absence of the deals the face values of the securities, expressed in U.S. dollars (if necessary) at the rate of the Exchange for the current day, are used.
