This study is based on the Country risk of different stock exchanges of the world. Here Country risk is derived from the Country Beta Approach, as this approach is described by the Erb, Harvey and Viskanta (1996). Specifically, this study is based on the risk comparison of KSE 100 with next eleven countries (South Korea, Iran, Mexico, Philippine, Indonesia, Turkey, Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan, Vietnam and Bangladesh), which are defined by the Goldman Sachs (2005). For this purpose, the stock exchange's data of these countries is compared with the global index. Actually, the global index is consisted on the 44 countries of the world. Here only one factor is discussed, which is a country risk (country beta). Actually the riskiness is measured in this study on the basis of beta, higher the beta means higher the risk; lower the beta means low the risk. The result shows that the performance of KSE is much better than the next eleven economies but Nigerian stock exchange has less risk than the KSE 100.

The Algiers Stock Exchange (ASE) is the only stock exchange in Algeria. It’s one of the newest and smallest emerging stock exchanges in the world. The focus of this paper is to model and forecast monthly returns of the ASE index (DZAIRINDEX) using The Box- Jenkins methodology. The period of this study is from Jun 2010 to July 2019. According to Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC) estimator, the Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average SARIMA(2,0,0)(0,0,1) is chosen as the best model for forecasting the monthly DZAIRINDEX returns. Diagnostic tests confirm that the fitted model is adequate, where the residuals of this model are normally distributed with no autocorrelation and no heteroskedasticity. The forecast of the monthly DZAIRINDEX returns for one year ahead using this model shows a decreasing fluctuations trend. Based on different measures of forecast accuracy such as ME, MAE, RMSE, MASE, we show that the forecast accuracy of SARIMA(2,0,0)(0,0,1) is acceptable and this model performs much better than a naïve model. These results could be used by the financial communities in Algeria to deal with stock exchange risks and to improve their decisions.

This paper explores the operational activities of the London Stock Exchange in the 21st century to provide an overview of its operational transparency and competitiveness; the competition among its market participants and how it competes with other developed stock exchanges around the world. Evidence was found that suggests the manifestation of both competitive and uncompetitive practices in the London Stock Exchange. The presence of the key elements that enhance the competitiveness of the market, such as continued technology transformation, strategies that promote globalisation and regulatory flexibilities was observed. Simultaneously, signs of non-competitiveness such as high membership and annual fees, transaction costs and stamp duties were also observed.

These stock exchanges are compared in terms of their strengths and weaknesses according to significant economic indicators, alongside essential stock market determinants, all the while highlighting relevant relationships among them. Upon assessment, GDP has a strong influence on the valuation of the market and KSA’s GDP growth in the last two years has been slightly higher than UAE’s growth, affecting projected GDP growth rates. Tadawul performed better than DFM in P/E ratio indicating a higher willingness to invest in the Saudi stock exchange as well as a higher return expectation. DFM’s stocks are highly undervalued. It can be concluded that both stock exchanges are strong and competitive respectfully, and their potential for growth depends on the economic market that they originate from.

Abstract: In order to expand their business in several ways, for example companies can offer their shares to the general public. Underpricing is a phenomenon that often appears and is experienced by companies that conduct an Initial Public Offering on the various stock exchanges in the world, where the IPO price is set lower than the true value of the company. Underpriced shares often occur because of information asymmetry or inequality of information that occurs in the group of investors who have information and a group of investors who do not have the information about the prospects of the issuer company. This study examined whether the age of the firm, firm size, and return on assets (ROA) affect the level of IPO underpricing on the company at the Indonesian Stock Exchange. This study was measured by Initial Return underpricing. The objects in this study are 32 companies that did the initial public offering in 2002 to 2004 at the Indonesia Stock Exchange and experienced under pricing . Conclusions from the study indicate that the companies age and their size variables are not shown to affect the dependent variable Underpricing, while the variable Return on Assets (ROA) Under pricing are shown to affect the dependent variable at a significant level of 5%.

The Monday effect is an anomaly that has defied explanation. It has been found to be present in major stock exchanges around the world. Bhana found evidence in favour of this anomaly in the share returns on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). In this article the Monday effect on the JSE is reinvestigated in a later period. The methodology employed is superior to that of previous studies. It appears that the Monday effect is no longer present in the pattern of share returns on the JSE. The results of the article suggest that the original methodology creates a bias in favour of finding a Monday effect. Evidence in favour of the trading time hypothesis is found, indicating that no equity growth occurs over weekends.
