European exchanges' market capitalisation at the end of 2008 went down to 6,180 billion EUR which means almost 50% decreased compare to the same moth last year. Despite the immediate indirect effects of the crisis, which started in unregulated private markets and had an inevitable impact on exchanges’ market capitalisation, 747 million electronic order book (EOB) equity trades were done in 2008 which means 22% increase compared to year 2007. The value of these EOB equity trades on European exchanges was close to 12,000 billion EUR compared to 14,800 billion EUR for 2007, which means a decrease of 19%.
The number of listed companies in Europe was 12,352 at the end of 2008. This represents a decrease of 1% year-on-year, so it remains stable compared to year 2007.
Throughout 2008 the number of equity derivatives contracts went up to 2,266 millions which means 26% increase compared to year 2007. Bond derivatives reached 1, 239 millions of contracts during 2008.
