To identify the determinants and their significance in capital market development, both descriptive and inferential statistics are used. Descriptive statistics shows the trends and characteristics of the variables, while inferential statistics reveals the strengths of independent variable to influence the dependent variable. In the findings, both institutional and macroeconomic variable significantly influence the capital market performance.
