Market capitalization of listed domestic companies as % of GDP CM.MKT.LCAP.GD.ZS

Overview
Ukraine's market capitalization stood at 3.37% in 2018, a decline of +1.26% from 2017. Ukraine ranked 76th globally.
Ukraine’s total market capitalization fell dramatically between 2010 and 2018, dropping from an all‑time peak of 27.55 (the year of the peak) to a trough of 3.37 in 2018, placing the country 76th globally in the latest World Bank series. The eight‑year coverage captures a contraction of nearly 88 percent, reflecting prolonged macro‑economic instability, conflict‑related disruptions and capital flight that have eroded investor confidence. By contrast, Costa Rica’s market value stood at 3.85 in the same year, marginally higher than Ukraine’s despite a smaller economy, underscoring the relative weakness of Ukraine’s equity sector. The steep decline also outpaces the modest movements observed in peers such as Armenia (0.38) and Nigeria (7.47), suggesting that domestic reforms and external shocks have had a disproportionately adverse impact. If structural reforms, improved governance and a durable peace can be achieved, the trajectory may reverse, allowing Ukraine’s market capitalization to regain momentum and close the gap with regional comparators.
