There were 2 most noticeable features of December 2001. The first is the significant expansion of the foreign currency sector due to the influence of seasonal factor. However, as futures market became active it did not allow the foreign currency sector to take bigger share. The second is a very high volume of deals made in CS. Despite of the fact that as against November there were no sales of state blocks of shares at KASE, and the volume of CS deals was very high. The market expansion was achieved mostly through the purchase-sale sector. Total proportion of deals made in securities at KASE in 2001 reached 75.6%. In 2000 this figure did not exceed 64.3%.
