In its continuous efforts to upgrade its services to market participants as well as harmonize with international capital markets, CASE has re-classified all its listed companies into 17 new sectors, instead of the current 22 sectors, effective 4 September 2007.
The determination of the new 17 sectors by CASE aims at providing the investing public with a classification of the listed companies on the basis of homogeneous characteristics that relate to the companies’ economic activities and main business revenues. CASE new sector classification was undertaken after extensive review and analysis of various global classification methodologies for the past six months.
