Sri Lanka bourse among world's best performing markets

 

Sri Lankan shares jumped 2.61 percent yesterday (18), to become one of the best-performing bourses among the world stock markets after a global recession, with top blue chips hitting over one-year highs.

Turnover hit a record of 2 billion rupees ($17.5 million), more than four times last year's daily average of 464 million rupees, according to a bourse official.

The bourse has risen around 59.9 percent so far for this year and 26 percent since the government declared victory in a near 26-year war, the report further stated.
