Toronto, Jan 7 - Companies raised a record $60 billion on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) last year despite the global downturn.


The third biggest stock exchange in North America, the Toronto Stock Exchange is also the world's biggest energy market where more than 400 global oil and gas companies are traded.


The stock exchange raised $60.0 billion, surpassing the previous record of $47.6 billion set in 2007. The TSX executed trading volume of 118.5 billion, again exceeding the record of 109.2 billion set in 2008.

Shares in the retail sector rose as major US chain stores raised forecasts or delivered earnings reports that beat expectations.
