View From the Top Bangladesh top global sharemarket performer

14 June 2010

After an up-and-down week in terms of global sharemarket performance, it’s interesting to take a look at the year-to-date performance of 81 countries from around the world (to 9 June 2010).

In local currency terms, Bangladesh ranks first at +36.59%, followed by Estonia (+32.86%) and Sri Lanka (+31.87%). Of the G7 countries, Germany is doing the best with a decline of just -0.05%, followed by Canada at -1.74% and the US at -4.49%.

Of the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) countries, India is holding up the best so far in 2010 with a decline of 4.62%. Brazil ranks second at -6.67%, followed by Russia at -7.54% and then China at -21.15%. Perhaps unsurprisingly given broader economic concerns, Greece is down the most of any country year-to-date (-33.44%). New Zealand is down 7% year-to-date.
