/IRBIS, Assel Omarova, June 3, 04/ - Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE) has determined activity rating of companies - operators of the KASE corporate securities (CS) market in Kazakhstan for May of 2004. Position of company in the list is determined in accordance with the stake of deals it has concluded in total gross-turnover of trades (total of purchased and sold shares and bonds). Moreover, only CS purchase and sale transactions at the secondary market excluding work of brokers with state blocks of shares (SBS), are taken into account. Position of each trade participant is expressed in Kazakhstan tenge. When this chart was being prepared, the Exchange had to apply the methodology different from that used in previous months due to 4 major deals made over KZMS on May 20. The chart would be distorted, had we accounted for those deals. Therefore, the table below provides data ignoring mentioned deals. Below is the full list of operators, which worked in this stock exchange's market's sector in May of 2004.
