Learning more about the 20 largest stock exchanges in the world can be quite revealing regarding global economic power and wealth distribution. While some stock exchanges have been traditionally

strong, the dynamic nature of the industry has allowed others to grow rapidly. Emerging market economies have contributed a great deal to the surge of such stock exchanges, a trend that is to persist over
the next decade.

Globalization has had its effect on our list of the largest stock exchanges in the world, which includes markets spread across all continents. Naturally, countries with powerful economies and a highly
developed private sector are bound to have a bigger financial market, thus making it possible to guess the top ranking institutions. If you have read one of our previous posts on the 20 biggest IPOs in US
history (http://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/the-20-biggest-ipos-in-us-history-331956/), then you will certainly be aware that this nation most likely houses the candidate for the top spot. Nevertheless, some
of the largest stock exchanges in the world are booming markets, offering huge financial opportunities, while still plagued by widespread poverty.
In order to rank the global financial markets, we have taken the market capitalization values from the monthly reports of the World Federation of Exchanges as the main indicator for size. Thus, the title will
belong to the market with the highest value of shares outstanding. Without going into further detail, here is our list of the 20 largest stock exchanges in the world.
