4.1.3 Joint Stock Companies traded at Georgian Stock Exchange
First, we will analyse the aggregate figures concerning all Joint Stock Companies (JSC) traded at Georgian Stock Exchange (GSE) and then will present the data on individual enterprises.
Market Capitalization. The figures describing the market capitalization of all Joint Stock Companies traded at GSE are presented in Table 4.1.1.1:

The more useful benchmark for judging the market performance of the private companies usually is the ratio of the market capitalization over the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of that country. Figure 4.1.1.1 shows the values of this ratio for Georgia and also for other Eastern European (mainly former Soviet Block) countries, whose economies are in transition mode from the command economy to a market driven system likewise Georgia. It can be seen from this Figure that Georgian stock market is rather underdeveloped in comparison to other Eastern European countries, not to speak about the Western European Countries and the USA, which have much higher values of this ratio.

It is interesting to note that about 82.8% of the total market capitalization is formed by only 10 companies. The remaining 278 companies that are admitted for trading at the GSE constitute to only about 17.2% of the total market capitalization. This is shown in Fig. 4.1.1.2:

Liquidity. All the factors considered in the previous paragraphs, i.e. Low Market Capitalization, low Volume and Value of Trades, and low Value Turnover, all indicate that there is little (or even no) liquidity at the GSE. Indeed, out of 282 companies, whose shares are currently admitted for trading at the GSE, the shares of only 93 companies (i.e. 33%) were traded in 2002. The shares of the remaining companies were not traded during the year at all. This is shown in Figure 4.1.1.4:
