2005 Global Returns: A Visual Perspective
As another way of looking at global equity returns for 2005, we mapped the performance of each country's major index using colors. Ninety-two percent of the countries posted gains, and Middle Eastern and Eastern European countries were up the most. From a political perspective, it is interesting that Venezuela, Iran, and China were three of the four worst performing countries.









What is the basis for "market cap" used in this comparison? Is it the sum of all equity caps on all of the exchanges inside a single country? Is it based on local currencies or the USD?
