According to statistics maintained by the Futures Industry Association (FIA), a trade organization for derivatives, the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the largest stock exchange in India, has maintained its position as the largest derivatives exchange globally in 2022 by the number of contracts traded.
Statistics by the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE):
The exchange also secured the third spot as the biggest exchange in the world by the volume of trades (electronic order book) in 2022 for the equity segment. The World Federation of Exchanges (WFE)’statistics show an improvement in this category, with the NSE moving up from fourth place the previous year.
The benchmark NSE equity index Nifty 50 reached an all-time high of 18,887.60 during the year. In most product categories, including equity, equity derivatives, and currency derivatives, there was a noticeable improvement in liquidity.
The Social Stock Exchange is anticipated to launch soon as a segment of the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the largest stock exchange in India, subject to regulatory approvals. By issuing instruments like zero coupon zero principal bonds, “Social Enterprises,” particularly non-profit organizations, would be able to raise money and showcase their work to a larger audience.
Equity segment:
The daily average turnover of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which was estimated to be Rs 470 crore in calendar year 2022, increased by 51%. In the equity market, Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) had an average daily turnover of Rs 7 crore, up 59% year over year.
With volumes reaching a daily average turnover of Rs 3 crore in the previous month, government securities that have been made available on the NSE’s equity market are also experiencing significant growth, albeit from a lower base.
Beginning January 27, 2023, all securities offered for trading on the NSE in the equity segment will settle on a T+1 basis. Considering the size and scope of operations in the equity segment, the accomplishment is noteworthy.
