In terms of market size, by the end of January, there were 386 listed companies. This is more than double the 181 there were in the last boom year, 1989. Moreover, there are another 85 firms selling under the newly established "over-the-counter" procedures, whose requirements are less rigorous.
從股市規模來看，截至今年一月底，上市公司的家數是三百八十六家，比七十八年股市狂飆時的一百八十一家多了一倍有餘；而新成立的、核准標準較寬鬆的店頭市場，迄今也有了八十五家上櫃公司。
