CSE makes history

 
The Colombo Stock Exchange recorded its highest ever when the All Share Price Index rose 1.7 percent to 3,188.82, for the measure of 231 companies on the Colombo Stock Exchange today (Dec 18).

CSE which is the world’s second-best performer this year, rose to a record as the end of the terrorism drove economic expansion to the fastest pace this year, reports Bloomberg.

Gross domestic product rose 4.2 percent in the three months ended Sept. 30 from a year earlier after gaining 2.1 percent in the previous quarter, the statistics department said in Colombo earlier today, reported Bloomberg.
