Market Classification
The regular market has strict listing requirements. For listing on this market, companies must have a solid record of profitability.
The parallel market has relatively fewer requirements, and is therefore easier for companies to list on, especially the newly established ones. The third market consists of companies that are facing financial difficulties.

Famous quotes containing the word market:
“... married women work and neglect their children because the duties of the homemaker become so depreciated that women feel compelled to take a job in order to hold the respect of the community. It is one thing if women work, as many of them must, to help support the family. It is quite another thing—it is destructive of woman’s freedom—if society forces her out of the home and into the labor market in order that she may respect herself and gain the respect of others.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
