Índice Bursátil de Capitalización

Índice Bursátil de Capitalización (IBC), also known as the General Index, is the main and most important index of Caracas Stock Exchange. It lists the 11 largest companies by capitalization and liquidity of the Venezuelan Stock Market.[1]

The index is calculated from 28 August 1997.[2]

History

When the index was launched on 28 August 1997, it comprised 15 companies: Cantv, Fondo de Valores Inmobiliarios, H.L. Boulton, Corimon, Manpa, Mercantil Servicios Financieros, Electricidad de Caracas, Banco Provincial, Venepal, Mantex, Sudamtex, Sivensa, Vencemos, Mavesa, and Banco Venezolano de Crédito.[3]

Mavesa is now a subsidiary of Empresas Polar. The Uruguayan-owned textile company Sudamtex closed down. Venepal declared bankruptcy in 2004, and was subsequently nationalised, becoming "invepal".[4] Cement company Vencemos, taken over by the Mexican Cemex in 1994, was nationalised in 2008, becoming Cementos Venezuela.

gollark: Pick a random number with more zeroes than usual?

gollark: I blatantly stole it from helloboi.
gollark: I may be referred to as car/cdr if desired.
gollark: The problem with spaces is that you can’t actually see them. So you can’t be sure they’re correct. Also they aren’t actually there anyway - they are the absence of code. “Anti-code” if you will. Too many developers format their code “to make it more maintainable” (like that’s actually a thing), but they’re really just filling the document with spaces. And it’s impossible to know how spaces will effect your code, because if you can’t see them, then you can’t read them. Real code wizards know to just write one long line and pack it in tight. What’s that you say? You wrote 600 lines of code today? Well I wrote one, and it took all week, but it’s the best. And when I hand this project over to you next month I’ll have solved world peace in just 14 lines and you will be so lucky to have my code on your screen <ninja chop>.
