Additionally, available for users is a special section containing information about the IBEX® Technical Advisory Committee.

In line with a policy of transparency, a monthly report is published which contains information on market statistics, trading figures and information on indices from 2002.

The chapter dealing with liquidity assessment allows for a consistent and detailed analysis of this factor from three aspects: ex-ante liquidity (spreads, lambdas, ex-post (effective trading volume) and for the stocks included in the IBEX 35® index, replicability (spreads for 1 and 4 future contracts and theoretic lambda ratio). The chapter also includes comprehensive information on stock trading, financial transactions carried out by listed companies and market members. It offers, in short, a compilation of data in a direct and comprehensive way.
