"World Market Share"

I thought some folks here would appreciate the perspective provided by the table below.

The data are almost a year old now, but likely relatively accurate.

This was somewhat of a surprise to me considering the content and tone of business "news" I read daily.

One could argue that in some countries, like China, a significant amount of GDP has yet to be monetized via its public markets and thus is not reflected in the table.

I guess my post wasn't politically charged enough.

Despite all of the news of the "end of America" and the US becoming a 2nd rate nation, America remains the center of the world's public markets, by a significant margin.

That's news, IMO, between the reports of the demise of the USA.

Best,
