It means the investor confidence in the local shares has dropped. They r not buying shares probably due to the prevailing economic status and also uncertainty with regard to change in government.

The drop in the stock index is an indicator the the economy is not doing too good. This means less investment and less employment. What is worrying is that the index has dropped over the past year. Government needs to stimulate the economy
