Sri Lanka's top listed firms in Dow index
March 23, 2009 (LBO) - Sri Lanka's top listed firms, John Keells Holdings, Sri Lanka Telecom and Dialog Telekom, have been included in a new Dow Jones stock market index for the south Asian region, a Dow spokeswoman said.
The global index provider and the South Asian Federation of Exchanges (SAFE) last week announced the new index, known as the Dow Jones SAFE 100 Index.

It is the first created to measure the performance of blue-chip companies in five of the eight member states of SAFE.

The five member states included in the index are: India, Bangladesh, Mauritius, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Dow also said in a statement the composition of the index has been changed in a regular annual review last week.

It said 17 companies from India and Pakistan have been deleted from the Dow Jones SAFE 100 Index and replaced by 17 firms including those from Bangladesh.

The Dow Jones SAFE 100 Index measures the performance of 100 blue-chip companies in five of the eight member states of the South Asian Federation of Exchanges.
