The Asia Pacific region, particularly India, is witnessing a remarkable surge in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), dominating global listings this year.
What Happened? Data compiled by Bloomberg reveals that out of 38 global listings in the past two weeks, an astounding 34 occurred in the Asia Pacific, with India hosting the majority.
India’s equity market is bustling with activity, continuing its record-breaking streak from last year. Companies are capitalizing on heightened valuations, spurred by a robust equities market and promising earnings prospects.
This contrasts with China, which, despite typically larger listing sizes, is experiencing a gradual revival in offerings following economic challenges and increased regulatory scrutiny last year.
