environment, why has many Stock
exchanges around world? According to Arnold (2008) defined “stock
exchanges are markets where government and industry can rise long-term capital

will be used interchangeably.
For
example, BBC news (2011) reported the shares of Tokyo Electric Power Company
(Tepco) fell on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on fears that the utility provider may
be nationalised. It was the most actively traded stock on the bourse, falling
12% to 186 yen. Thus, the company asked
the government for an extra 690bn yen ($9bn; £5.6bn) to help pay compensation
claims. Furthermore, as the Financial Times shows that the head Mizuho
Financial Group, Tepco, said the Japanese government's commitment to
financially support Tepco for providing further lending. It can be seen from the Tepco face of the crisis, the Stock markets can help companies provide funding. If there is can not

funds. It should be face collapse.
In addition, According to Financial times report the Petrobras, Brazil’s state-controlled oil Company, has sold
up to $7bn of bonds on international markets, which Petrobras underlines the
strength of Brazil’s equity and debt markets (Leahy, 2012). The listed

company's funds, and can improve the situation of the company's
operations.
However, the stock market has played
vital role in the modern economy, also Arnold (2008) stated has a number of
characteristics. There are inclusive the firm can find funds and grow;
allocation of capital; for shareholders; status and publicity; mergers; improve
corporate behaviour.
Despite the company by selling of $7bn in Brazil’s biggest international corporate bond
offering, the following of company's shares soared in January
this year. But following months in the doldrums, investors avoid the fear that less than Brazil’s stock market. As fourth quarter net profit down by half compared with a
year earlier. Moreover, Leahy (2012) explained the
company net profit in the three months to the end of December last year was
R$5.05bn, down 52% compared with a year earlier and well below the R$9.2bn
forecast by a Reuters analyst survey. In addition, Petrobras shares suffered
their biggest fall in six months on the news and were down 7.16 per cent in
afternoon trade at R$25.56 per share. In the same way, the Credit
