In addition to the CSE Sector Indices the Colombo Stock Exchange has two main price indices: the All Share Price Index (ASPI), and the Milanka Price Index (MPI).

It is composed of a select group of 25 best performing stocks, a list which is reviewed each quarter, as opposed to the Colombo Stock Exchange's "All Share Price Index", which uses all of the 250 stocks on the exchange to calculate an index value.
