    CAPITAL MARKET

    What is Capital Market?

    The capital market is the market for securities, where companies and governments can raise

    long-term funds. It is a market in which money is lent for periods longer than a year. The capitalmarket includes the stock market and the bond market. The capital markets consist of theprimary market and the secondary market. The primary market is where new stock and bondsissues are sold (underwriting) to investors. The secondary markets are where existing securitiesare sold and bought from one investor or speculator to another, usually on an exchange.A security is a negotiable instrument representing financial value. Securities are broadlycategorized into debt securities (such as banknotes, bonds and debentures), and equity securities;e.g., common stocks. The company or other entity issuing the security is called the issuer.Securities may be represented by a certificate or, more typically, by an electronic book entry.They include shares of corporate stock or mutual funds, bonds issued by corporations orgovernmental agencies, stock options or other options, limited partnership units, and various

    other formal investment instruments that are negotiable.

    Development of Capital Market:

    The history of the capital market in India dates back to the eighteenth century when EastIndia Company securities were traded in the country. Until the end of the nineteenthcentury, securities trading were unorganized and the main trading centers were Bombay(now Mumbai) and Calcutta (now Kolkata). Of the two, Bombay was the chief tradingcentre wherein bank shares were the major trading stock. During the American Civil War(1860-61), Bombay was an important source of supply for cotton. Hence, tradingactivities flourished during the period, resulting in a boom in share prices.

    Trading was at that time limited to a dozen brokers: their trading place was under abanyan tree in front of the Town Hall in Bombay. The Bombay Stock Exchange wasrecognized in May 1927 under the Bombay Securities Contracts Control Act, 1925.

    The capital market was not well organized and developed during the British rule becausethe British government was not interested in the economic growth of the country. In the1950s, Century Textiles, Tata Steel, Bombay Dyeing, National Rayon, and Kohinoor

    Mills were the favorite scrips of speculators. As speculation became rempant, the stockmarket came to be known as 'Satta Bazaar'.

    The 1990s will go down as the most important decade in the history of the capital market

    of India. Liberalisation and globalization were the new terms coined and marketed duringthis decade. The Capital Issues (Control) Act, 1947 was repealed in May 1992. Thedecade was characterized by a new industrial policy, emergence of SEBI as a regulator ofcapital market, advent of foreign institutional investors, euro-issues, free pricing, newtrading practices, new stock exchanges, entry of new players such as private sectormutual funds and private sector banks, and primary market boom and bust.

    Major capital market scams took place in the 1990s. These shook the capital market anddrove away small investors from the market. The securities scam of March 1992involving brokers as well as bankers was on of the biggest scams in the history of the

    capital market. The 1991-92 securities scam revealed the inadequacies of andinefficiencies in the financial system. It was the scam, which prompted a reform of theequity market.

    on a stock exchange. It will make recommendations for listing. Obtaining a letter of

    recommendation from CLA by these organizations has been made mandatory. CLA will

    Need:

  • 8/7/2019 Capital Mkt Writeup 1

    5/42

    SEBI was the sole regulatory authority for the companies to meet their listing

    requirements with the stock exchanges. The corporates were monitored by SEBI through

    the listing agreement. Thus compliance of listing agreement was of great significance for

    the companies vying to operate in capital market. As per the earlier regulations, it was

    mandatory for the company to list its securities on its regional stock exchange and listing

    can be done in any number of exchanges, but for each listing, the company had to pay the

    requisite fees. This made difficult for small companies & they were able to list only in

    small exchanges. Listing in small exchanges was also a bottleneck for the stocks of these

    companies to be actively traded. Some companies adopted a different strategy by opting

    for listing in the small exchanges in the initial stage and when most of the shares come

    under the control of the promoters, they resorted to price rigging. This facilitate, these

    companies entry into the countrys 2 national stock exchanges(BSE & NSE) .

    Benefits:

    1. To Stock Exchanges:

    Establishment of CLA seems to be a major milestone in the Indian capital market.

    Because of this authority, stock exchanges stand to gain as they would now be able to

    concentrate on their major function of providing a trading & settlement platform & save

    time & money in screening of listing applications as well as compliance of listing

    agreements.

    2. To corporate World:

    Corporates stand to gain as their listing costs come down drastically because of the

    elimination of independent listing fees in each of the exchanges. The cumbersome

    procedure of following up the process with each exchange is also dispensed with.

    3. To Investors:

    Investors stand to gain because it creates a more conducive investment climate due to

    better quality of listings & transparency. They would also be able to get corporate

    information from a single window & they can address their grievances to a single place.

    the Ahmadabad Stock Exchange (ASE) was established. In the year 1908, the second in

    the series, Calcutta Stock Exchange (CSE) came into existence. During the early sixties,

    there were only few recognized RSEs in India namely Calcutta, Madras, Ahmadabad,

    Delhi, Hyderabad and Indore. The number remained unchanged for the next two decades.

    Agency In in Depositories:

    India has chosen the concept of multi-depositories. Presently, there are two depositories

    registered with SEBI:

    1. National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL)2. Central Depository Service (India) Limited (CDSL)

    National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL):

    Both agencies are linked with each other. NSDL is a public limited company

    incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956. Four renowned institutions participate in it.

    Unit Trust of India (UTI), Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI), National Stock

    Exchange of India (NSE), State Bank of India (SBI).UTI is the largest mutual fund of

    India and IDBI is the largest development bank, NSE is the largest stock exchange of

    India and SBI is the largest commercial bank of India having clearing facility. HDFC andCitibank also share in this system. NSDL is managed by Board of directors headed by a

    managing director. It is governed by its bye-laws and its business operations are regulated

    by business rules. NSDL interfaces with the investors through players or business

    partners. Constituents of depository compromise of clearing corporation, brokers,

    clearing member, registrar and transfer agents, company or issuer, stock exchange, bank

    depository participant and investors. All are electronically linked to the main depository

    for the settlement of trades and to perform a daily reconciliation of all accounts held with

    NSDL.

    Central Depository Service (India) Limited (CDSL):

    Second agency is CDSL - Central Depository Service (India) Limited. Main functions of

    this agency are centralized database and accounting. Major participant in CDSL are LIC,

    GIC and BSE. This agency is set up with the object to keep in mind to accelerate growth

    of scrip less trading, with major thrust of individual participation and creating

    competitive environment, responsible to the users interests and demands to enhance

    liquidity. CDSL aims to retain the entire data of the investors in the central database of

    CDSL. It has opted for it with the following objectives:

    Within time information is available to issuers/registrars and share transfer agents.

    Companies can monitor critical holdings, e.g., holding of FIIs, investment companies,etc., by using up the parameters through their front-end terminals.There is no other database in the system to reconcile.

    No additional security or storage cost of data or critical database residing at the front-endterminals with the issuers/registrars. Recover only the annual maintenance charges.

    12/42

    CDSL signed a memorandum of understanding with NSDL for inter-depository connectivity.

    Presently, more than half the business of depositories is handled by this agency. Role of both

    these agencies has become very vital after SEBIs declaration that there would be no deals in

    physical form and only dealing to happen in market through demat accounts.

    PRIMARY MARKET

    What is Primary market?

    The primary market is that part of the capital marketsthat deals with the issuance of new

    securities. Companies, governments or public sector institutions can obtain fundingthrough thesale of a new stockorbondissue. This is typically done through a syndicate of securities dealers.

    The process of selling new issues to investors is calledunderwriting. In the case of a new stock

    issue, this sale is an initial public offering (IPO). Dealers earn a commission that is built into the

    price of the security offering, though it can be found in the prospectus.

    Features of primary markets are:

    This is the market for new long term capital. The primary market is the market where the

    securities are sold for the first time. Therefore it is also called New Issue Market (NIM).

    In a primary issue, the securities are issued by the company directly to investors.

    The company receives the money and issues new security certificates to the investors.

    Primary issues are used by companies for the purpose of setting up new business or for

    expanding or modernizing the existing business.

    The primary market performs the crucial function of facilitating capital formation in the

    economy.

    The new issue market does not include certain other sources of new long term external

    finance, such as loans from financial institutions. Borrowers in the new issue market may

    be raising capital for converting private capital into public capital; this is known as going

    public.

    The financial assests sold can only be redeemed by the original holder.

    Methods of issuing securities in the primary market are:

    Initial public offering ,

    INITIAL PUBLIC OFFER

    What is IPO?

    An IPO is the first public offer of securities by a company since its inception. The securities

    offered in IPO are generally either equity or convertible instruments. The decision to go public isa critical one as it results in dilution of ownership stake & diffusion of corporate control. An IPO

    can be used both as a financing strategy & exit strategy. In a financing strategy, the main purpose

    of the IPO is to raise funds for the company. An IPO can be used as an exit strategy when the

    existing investors offload their equity holdings to the public.

    Reasons for going public

    Raising funds to finance capital expenditure programs like expansion, diversification,

    modernization, etc.

    Financing of increased working capital.

    Financing acquisitions like a manufacturing unit, brand acquisitions, tender offers for

    shares of another firm, etc.

    Debt refinancing.

    Exit route for the existing investors.

    Advantages of going public

    Facilities future funding by means of subsequent public offerings.

    Enables valuation of the Company.

    Provides liquidity to existing shares.

    Increases the visibility & reputation of the Company.

    Commands better pricing than placement with few investors.

    Enables the Company to offer its shares as purchase consideration or as an exchange for

    the shares of another Company.

    the issue through a tender method.

    Implications & Consequences

    Underpricing

  • 8/7/2019 Capital Mkt Writeup 1

    22/42

    1) Underpricing can be related to timing of the issue & prevailing market conditions

    particularly in the secondary market.

    2) As a result of underpricing, the promoter or the company loses the opportunity to raise

    more funds.

    Overpricing

    1) Overpricing might leave a bad feeling in the minds of the investors.

    2) Logic behind this practice could be to lend credibility to the organisation by getting

    the issue oversubscribed.

    Post issue activities

    Post issue activities commence with the collection of subscription figures & go on till the

    securities are listed on the stock exchange.

    Basis of allotment

    In a public issue, the Executive Director/MD of Regional Stock Exchange along with post

    issue Lead Investment Manager & Registrar to the issue are responsible to ensure that the

    basis of allotment is finalised in a fair & proper manner.

    Reservation for Small Investors

    The proportionate allotment of securities in an issue that is oversubscribed is subject to the

    reservation for small investors.

    Dealing with undersubscription

    If the issue is not subscribed to the extent of 90%, the company was earlier forced to

    refund the subscription amount. This 90% also includes the subscription from underwriters

    if the issue was underwritten & the subscriptions from the promoters in case of non

    underwritten issues.

    SECONDARY MARKET

    Rights Issue: A listed company can opt for a rights issue to raise capital. With the issued rights,

    existing shareholders have the privilege to buy a specified number of new shares from the firm at

    a specified price within a specified time. A rights issue is offered to all existing shareholders

  • 8/7/2019 Capital Mkt Writeup 1

    27/42

    individually and may be rejected, accepted in full or accepted in part.In India, Section 81 of the

    Companies Act, 1956 provides that where a company increases its subscribed capital by the issue

    of new shares, either after two years of its formation or after one year of first issue of rights, have

    to be initially offered to exiating share holders.

    Eg.Avon Ltd has 30,00,000 shares outstanding in the market at current market price of 65 thustotal market cap is of (30,00,000*65). Now new shares worth 40 in all of 10,00,000. Thus no. of

    rights is 30,00,000/10,00,000 i.e. 3. Thus for every 3 share a sharholder is given a chance to have

    1 more share at 40.. The final market price is (30,00,000*65)+(10,00,000*40)/40,00,000 i.e.

    58.75 final market price post issue. Total value of 3 rights is 58.75-40 i.e. 18.75. Thus 1 right is

    18.75/3=6.25.

    Split Share: A corporate action in which a company's existing shares are divided into multipleshares. Although the number of shares outstanding increases by a specific multiple, the totaldollar value of the shares remains the same compared to pre-split amounts, because no real value

    has been added as a result of the split.

    investors believe that a stock split will result in an increased share price and purchase the stockthe share price will tend to increase. Others contend that the management of a company, byinitiating a stock split, is implicitly signaling its confidence in the future prospects of thecompany.

    Eg. Unitech

    Bonus: A bonus share is a free share of stock given to current shareholders in a company, based

    upon the number of shares that the shareholder already owns. While the issue of bonus shares

    increases the total number of shares issued and owned, it does not increase the value of thecompany.

    Eg. Leading real estate developer, Unitech Ltd on Monday said it has received shareholders

    approval for a stock split in the ratio of 1:5 and a

    12-for-1 bonus issue.

    The shareholders at the extra ordinary general meeting held on Monday approved the sub-

    division of the existing one equity share of Rs 10 into five equity shares of Rs two each, the

    company informed the Bombay Stock Exchange.

    The company would also issue bonus shares in the ratio of 12 equity shares for every 1 equity

    share held, it added.

  • 8/7/2019 Capital Mkt Writeup 1

    28/42

    Buyback: A program by which a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace,reducing the number of outstanding shares. This is usually an indication that the company'smanagement thinks the shares are undervalued.

    Because a share repurchase reduces the number of shares outstanding (i.e. supply), it increases

    earnings per share and tends to elevate the market value of the remaining shares.

    Eg. Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group firm Reliance Infrastructure on Friday said its promoters willbuy back additional shares worth Rs 700 crore from existing shareholders at a maximum price ofRs 700 a share.

    The buyback announcement comes within a week of the infra firm completing its Rs 796 crorebuyback from the open market. The buyback price of Rs 700 a share represents a premium of 27per cent to current market price, Reliance Infrastructure said in a fi ling to the Bombay StockExchange.

    The buyback programme would remain open till mid-April 2009 and would be done throughopen market purchases on the BSE and the National Stock Exchange. Shares of the companysurged 5.36 per cent to touch a high of Rs 579.50 on the BSE.

    FCCB: A type of convertible bond issued in a currency different than the issuer's domestic

    currency. In other words, the money being raised by the issuing company is in the form of

    a foreign currency. These types of bonds are attractive to both investors and issuers. The

    investors receive the safety of guaranteed payments on the bond and are also able to take

    advantage of any large price appreciation in the company's stock.

    Impact in India post 30

    th

    September: The conversion price of their foreign currencyconvertible bonds is several times higher than their current market prices.

    This leaves them with two options. One is to reset the price at current market price, a move thatcould dilute promoter holdings (since it would entail issuing more equity shares). The other is toredeem the bonds, which could increase debt obligations that are already substantial in somecases.

    Bonds: In finance, a bond is a debt security, in which the authorized issuer owes the holders a

    debt and, depending on the terms of the bond, is obliged to pay interest (the coupon) and/or torepay the principal at a later date, termed maturity. It is a formal contract to repay borrowed

    money with interest at fixed intervals.Thus a bond is a loan: the issueris the borrower, the bond

    holderis the lender, and the coupon is the interest. Bonds provide the borrower with external

    funds to finance long-term investments, or, in the case of government bonds, to finance current

    expenditure. The indebted entity (issuer) issues a bond that states the interest rate (coupon) that

    will be paid and when the loaned funds (bond principal) are to be returned (maturity date).

  • 8/7/2019 Capital Mkt Writeup 1

    29/42

    Principal the amount on which the issuer pays interest, and which has to be repaid at the end.

    Issue price the price at which investors buy the bonds when they are first issued

    Maturity date the date on which the issuer has to repay the nominal amount. As long as all

    payments have been made, the issuer has no more obligations to the bond holders after thematurity date.

    Coupon Rate the interest rate that the issuer pays to the bond holders. Usually this rate is

    fixed throughout the life of the bond.

    Indentures and Covenants An indenture is a formal debt agreement that establishes the terms

    of a bond issue, while covenants are the clauses of such an agreement.

    Debenture: A type of debt instrument that is not secured by physical asset or

    collateral. Debentures are backed only by the general creditworthiness and reputation of the

    issuer. Both corporations and governments frequently issue this type of bond in order to securecapital. A debenture is defined as a certificate of agreement of loans which is given under the

    company's stamp and carries an undertaking that the debenture holder will get a fixed

    return(fixed on the basis of interest rates) and the principal amount whenever the debenture

    matures. An example of a government debenture would be any government-issued Treasury

    bond (T-bond) or Treasury bill (T-bill). T-bonds and T-bills are generally considered risk free

    because governments, at worst, can print off more money or raise taxes to pay these type of

    debts.

    Types:

    Convertible Debentures: Convertible Debentures, which can be converted into equity shares of

    the issuing company after a predetermined period of time.

    Non-Convertible Debentures: Convertible Debentures, which can be converted into equity shares

    of the issuing company after a predetermined period of time.

    Warrants: A derivative security that gives the holder the right to purchase securities (usually

    equity) from the issuer at a specific price within a certain time frame. Warrants are often

    included in a new debt issue as a "sweetener" to entice investors.

    Warrants are frequently attached to bonds or preferred stock as a sweetener, allowing the issuerto pay lower interest rates or dividends. They can be used to enhance the yield of the bond, and

    make them more attractive to potential buyers. Warrants can also be used in private equity deals.

    The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants are issued and guaranteed

    by the company, whereas options are exchange instruments and are not issued by the company.

    Also, the lifetime of a warrant is often measured in years, while the lifetime of a typical option is

    measured in months.

    DERIVATIVES

    A derivative is a financial instrument which derives its value from some other financial price.

    This other financial price is called the underlying. A wheat farmer may wish to contract to sell

    his harvest at a future date to eliminate the risk of a change in prices by that date. The price for

    such a contract would obviously depend upon the current spot price of wheat. Such a transaction

    could take place on a wheat forward market. Here, the wheat forward is the derivative and

    wheat on the spot market is the underlying. The terms derivative contract, derivative

    product, or derivative are used inter changeably.

    Basic types of derivatives :

    1) Future

    2) Option

    3) Swaps

    1. FUTURES

    Futures contract can simplistically be defined as an agreement to buy or sell an asset at a certain

    time in the future at a certain price. Futures are firm financial agreements to deliver (sell) or take

    delivery (buy) of a standardized quantity of an underlying commodity or instrument, at a pre-

    established price agreed on a regulated exchange at a specified future date.

    Types of Future Contracts

    Commodity future : wheat corn, soyabeans or a perishable commodity like pork bellies; or even

    a precious asset like gold, silver etc.

    Financial futures: money market, treasure bills, notes, bonds, etc.

    Currency futures: US dollar, Pound Sterling, Euro and Yen etc.

  • 8/7/2019 Capital Mkt Writeup 1

    32/42

    Index future: Nifty, Sensex

    Margins

    A key role of the future exchange is to organize trading such that contract defaults are

    minimized or even eliminated. The clearing corporation uses the fees it collects on

    transactions to provide the necessary funds for this purpose. Besides, buyers and sellers are

    require to deposit a margin on the contract. Thus, when a contract is entered into, both the

    buyer and the seller are required to deposit initial margins, which is typically 5 to 10 percent

    of the value of the contract. The exact amount is determined by the exchange and the clearing

    house.

    2.OPTIONS

    An option gives the holder or buyer of the option the right to do so something usually to but or

    sell an underlying assets at a previously agreed price at a given point in the future, without the

    obligation to do so. In other words, a holder of an option has a right but not obligation to buy or

    sell the underlying assets at a price, called the Strike price, during a period or on a specific date

    in exchange for a payment of a premium is known as option.

    Option (finance), a right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified price, usually within a

    given period of time. Most options involve buying or selling stock, commodities, or real estate,but option contracts can be written for most goods and services. Options are traded on organized

    exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Chicago Board Options

    Exchange (CBOE).

    A common type of option is the stock optionthe right to buy or sell shares of stock at a

    specified price within a specified period of time. Some investors trade stock options in hopes of

    earning a profit. If an investor owns stock and expects the price of that stock to rise, he or she

    can purchase an option contract that will increase in value if the stock price goes up.

    Types of options

    Options are of two types: Call option and Put option.

    33/42

    A call option gives a buyer / holder a right but not an obligation to buy the underlying on

    or before a specified time at a specified price (usually called strike / exercise price) and

    quantity.

    For example, If an investor owns stock and expects the price of that stock to rise, he or she can

    purchase an option contract that will increase in value if the stock price goes up. For example,

    suppose SAIL stock is selling for Rs 130 per share. An investor can buy an option for the right to

    purchase 100 shares of SAIL stock within three months at Rs 130 per share by paying a fee to an

    option seller. If the price of SAIL stock rises before the end of the option contract, say to Rs 140

    per share, the seller is obligated to sell the buyer the stock at Rs 130 per share. The buyer can

    either hold onto this stock or sell it for a profit. If the stock price falls to less than Rs 130, the

    buyer is not obligated to purchase it. Most buyers choose to sell their options if they rise in value

    rather than exercise themthat is, put them into effect and actually purchase the stock.

    A put option gives a holder of that option a right but not an obligation to sell the

    underlying on or before a specified time at a specified price and quantity. The buyer /

    holder of an option pay an upfront premium to the writer / seller of an option. In other

    words he pays the price of the option.

    For example, an investor can buy a put option to sell 100 shares of Coca-Cola Company stock

    for Rs 60 a share within three months. If the price of the stock falls, the buyer can purchase 100

    shares at the new, low price and sell it to the option seller at the higher, contract price. If the

    stock price falls to Rs 50, the option buyer can purchase the stock at Rs 50 per share and sell it to

    the option seller, who is obligated to buy it, at Rs 60 per share. If the stock price rises to Rs 70

    per share, the option buyer is not obligated to sell the stock.

    Investors sometimes use options as tools for hedgingthat is, protecting against financial loss. If

    an investor owns stock and expects its price to fall, he or she can purchase a put option based on

    the stock. If the price does fall, the investor can sell the option to compensate for the loss in the

    stocks value. In addition to options based on stock, investors can also purchase index options

    that is, options based on stock indexes that measure the ups and downs of the stock market.

    3.SWAPS

    34/42

    The word swap literally means an exchange. A derivative or financial swap may be defined as

    a contract whereby two parties known as counterparties, exchange two streams of cash flows

    over a defined period of time, usually through an intermediary like a financial institution. The

    nature of the cash flows to be exchanged is defined in the contract.

    Swaps are the most versatile of the derivatives products. The development of the swap market

    was an important milestone in the evolution of international capital markets in the 1980s. While

    FRAs and futures are single period price-fixing contracts, swaps are multi-period price-fixing

    contracts. Swaps were developed essentially as OTC products; but today, a number of exchange-

    traded versions of swaps are available as well.

    WHY FII ARE ATTRACTED TO INDIA??

    GDP of trillion dollar, Growth rate of 89%, Huge man power, cost effectiveness, Fast emerging

    middle class, Rate of return on investment, Cheaper valuation, Investment to GDP ratio = 35-

    40%. Foreign investors are not fools to stick money into non-performing economies. They didn't

    warm up between 1994 and 2003 barring the 2000 technology boom period. Now that they found

    that India is hot, and it's for good reason. The reasons for being bullish about India in 2006 are

    the same as they were in 2005.

    The aim is to cash in on the current interest of foreign investors in emerging markets like India

    rather than let them move on to greener pastures like China and the tiger economies of East Asia.

    If foreign institutional investors can park their money for short-term gains in the Indian bourses,

    policymakers have realised that long-term investors are also viewing this country's economy in a

    favourable light.

    RBI gave permission of short selling to FII. Market cap touched 62 lakh crore. In volume trading

    India was on top. Then there was sudden MARKET CRASH IN JAN 08 due to many reason like

    US market recession, Weakness in global market, FII turns net sellers, Crude prices high, R-

    examined.

    Budget 2008-09, disappoints investor with increase in short term capital gain tax from 10% to

    15% and no change incorporate tax. This has lead to fall in stock market. Bloomberg web site

    introduced for 5.5mn government employees which will directly have Impact of 70% on profit of

    government organization. Due to that there will be 25000 crore outgo from balance sheet of

    government companies only because; this pay commission will be Effective from Jan 1, 2006.

    This also created some negative sentiments for the profit margin of these companies.

    Market crash down to 13000 from 16000 in four month and than from 13000 to 9000 in the

    month of October due to collapse of major investment banks, hedge funds, insurance companies

    world wide. Bankruptcy filed by Lehman Brothers and many fore closers also created big panic

    in financial industry. Liquidity crunch emerged with crisis of confidence which finally lead tohammering of all large cap, mid cap, small cap companies. Funding for upcoming project also

    reduced which lead to a big problem for real estate, construction companies. Mergers and

    acquisition deals delayed or re-negotiated between the parties.

    The Baltic Dry Index (BDI) is a number issued daily by the London-based Baltic Exchange.

    The index provides "an assessment of the price of moving the major raw materials by sea. It isbarometer for shipping companies worldwide.

    Impact of 2008 financial crisis

    On 20 May2008 the index reached its record high level since its introduction in 1985, reaching

    11,793 points. Half a year later, on 5 December2008, the index had dropped by 94%, to 663

    points, the lowest since 1986., though by 4 February2009it had recovered a little lost ground,

    back to 1,316. These low rates move dangerously close to the combined operating costs of

    vessels, fuel, and crews. By the end of 2008, shipping times had been already increased byreduced speeds to save fuel consumption, but lack of credit meant the reduction of letters of

    credit, historically required to load cargoes for departure at ports. Debt load of future ship

    construction was also a problem for shipping companies, with several major bankruptcies and

    implications for shipyards. This, combined with the collapsing price of raw commodities created

    a perfect storm for the world's marine commerce.
