Markets still struggling to make up for 'lost year'

By LYNETTE KHOO

(SINGAPORE) Only about one-third of large-cap global companies have recovered the losses suffered during the downturn to generate a net positive total shareholder return (TSR) in the two-year period 2008-2009. And only five emerging markets managed to fully recoup their 2008 losses.

After posting a sterling return of 70.8 per cent last year, Singapore's Straits Times Index (STI) is still some 10 per cent below its 2007 year-end level
