Stock Turnover Ratio - Ranking 1990

In 2025, the World Bank’s stock turnover ratio data reveals a sharp divide in market liquidity across 75 ranked economies. The top tier is dominated by nations where high-frequency trading and active retail participation drive rapid share churn: China leads at 299.4 percent, followed by Türkiye at 233.0 percent, with Korea, Qatar, and Brazil also exceeding 130 percent. These markets often feature large state-linked or high-volume exchanges that encourage short-term turnover. At the bottom, Belarus registers a negative turnover ratio of -0.14 percent, a structural anomaly likely reflecting negligible trading volume or data reporting lags in a tightly controlled financial system. The 2025 snapshot thus captures extremes between hyperactive emerging bourses and nearly dormant markets. Future reshuffling of the leaderboard may depend on whether China’s regulatory tightening or Türkiye’s inflationary pressures alter investor holding periods.
