Despite the turmoil both on the global stage – with the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis and widespread high inflation – and on the domestic front, in the midst of elections, the Ibovespa managed to end 2022 on a high note.
The main stock index in Brazil registered the fourth highest appreciation, among the five that rose last year in local currency, according to a survey by Valor Data with 20 of the main exchanges in the world.
The ranking is led by Bist 100, from Turkey, with an increase of 196.57%, followed by Merval, from Argentina, with +142.02%. In third place comes the IPSA, from Chile, with +22.13%, and, in fourth, the Ibovespa, with +4.69%. The list is completed by the FTSE-100, from England, with a gain of only 0.91%.
Among the falls of 2022, the biggest was that of the American Nasdaq index, of technology stocks, which lost no less than 33.1%. The second worst performer last year was Kospi, from South Korea, with −24.89%. Third place belongs to another American index, the S&P 500, with −19.44%.
