Listed shares

Listed shares comprise all financial assets which represent property rights in a corporation or quasi-corporation. These financial assets generally entitle the holder to a share in corporate profits and also to a share in net assets in the event of liquidation. Listed shares include all shares with prices listed on a recognised stock exchange or other form of regulated market.

The securities issues statistics cover the issuance of securities other than shares (i.e. debt securities) and of listed shares by euro area residents. The statistics relate to outstanding amounts (stocks), transactions (gross issuance, redemptions and net issuance) and growth rates. The securities issues statistics for the euro area are published in a monthly press release six weeks after the end of the reference month. For publication dates, see the Release calendar for the Euro area securities issues statistics.
