Adjust font size:

A slight drop in share prices on December 28 cleared all doubts about the last trading day for China's stock market this year. Nevertheless, when the bell rang at 3pm at stock trading halls, Chinese investors celebrated the perfect close to a spectacular year for the market, and set expectations high for a promising new year - the year of 2008.

 

The following is a brief summarization of the remarkable achievements of the world's fourth-largest stock market, whose market value hit 32.9 trillion yuan as of December 27.

 

1. Market scale expansion

 

a. Indices

 

The Shanghai Composite Index, tracking the bigger bourse of China's two stock exchanges, started from 2,675 at the end of last year and closed at 5,261 on December 28, a 97 percent growth, driven by enthusiastic investment from individual and institutional investors from home and abroad. On October 16, it hit 6,124 during the trading session and closed at 6,092, as the highest level it has touched and closed in the history of China's stock market (See Chart 1).

The high-flying performance of the stock market attracted more companies to come to list or return from overseas markets to the home bourses, especially high-quality large-cap blue chips.

 

Of them, 12 stocks raised more than 10 billion yuan from their IPOs. They were: China Pacific Insurance, China Shipping Container Lines, China Railway, PetroChina, China Shenhua Energy, China Construction Bank, Bank of Beijing, China COSCO, Bank of Communications, China Citic Bank, Ping An Insurance, and Industrial Bank.

 

Of the total 447 billion yuan raised from IPOs, the 12 enterprises raised a combined 382.89 billion yuan, or 85 percent.
