A report by Bloomberg has placed the local stock market as the top performer in the world.

It says Jamaica’s stock market rally, the world’s biggest over the last five years, shows no sign of losing steam.

According to the report, the Jamaica Stock Exchange,(JSE) main index has gained 19 per cent in dollar terms this year, the most among more than 90 primary equity gauges tracked by Bloomberg.

It says over the last five years, the JSE’s 233 per cent rally dwarfed the 86 per cent rally in the second-top performer, Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh Stock Index, and the 73 per cent rally in the US S&P 500 index.
