View/Print (1.3 MB)Year-end 2009: Leading the global recovery

Asia Pacific bourses gained 53% in 2009, reversing a similar-sized loss the year before. Two-thirds of this gain came from a strong first half. Leading the charge was China: it shot up 61% in the first half, and despite a sharp correction in August, ended the year up 76%. Indonesia and Taiwan each gained close to 90%, with both indices hitting new highs. Hong Kong and Singapore gained over 50% each, with the gains spread almost equally between the two halves.
