German term or phrase: geringe Markttiefe
Das liegt einerseits am sukzessiven Abbau des Bewertungsabschlages (nicht zuletzt auch durch den EU-Beitritt) und andererseits an dem Umstand, dass die höheren Wirtschaftswachstumsraten den potenziellen Abschlag für die fehlende Liquidität und die geringe Markttiefe kompensieren können.

lack of market depth
Explanation:
I'd say "lack of market depth"

"Despite growth in the stock market, the percentage of shares traded as a percentage of total market value of shares outstanding has been estimated as no more than 5 percent, very low by international standards. This ***lack of market depth*** resulted from the high proportion of shares owned by institutions rather than individuals and the concentration of ownership in a few hands."
