Below we provide a table showing the percentage of world market cap that each country's equity market currently makes up. We also show where the reading stood at the start of 2011 as well as its change since then.

As shown, the US stock market currently makes up 32.21% of world market cap. This is up 2.53 percentage points since the start of 2011 when the US made up 29.68% of world market cap.

Japan currently has the second biggest stock market at 7.36%, followed by the UK at 6.63% and then China at 6.44%. China has seen its share of world market cap fall the most of any country since the start of 2011. India, which currently makes up 2.52% of world market cap, has seen its share fall the second most behind China since 2011 began.

Interestingly, while it's a G7 country, Italy makes up just 1.05% of world market cap, ranking it 19th overall. All four of the big "emerging market" BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, China) have bigger stock markets than Italy.

Being a small island UK have become the 3rd largest market cap in the world. Surprising!!!!.
So we can conclude that SL has a long way to go and most importantly SIZE DOES NOT MATTER.
