China’s bourses set for IPOs of US$48b
THE Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets are set to raise 300 billion yuan (US$48 billion) via initial public offerings this year after they led the global IPO market in the first half, PricewaterhouseCoopers predicted yesterday.
The two stock exchanges led the global IPO market in the number of new share sales and amount of funds raised in the first half of 2015. During the period, 187 companies listed on the two bourses, up 260 percent year on year. They raised a total of 146.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year surge of 314 percent.
“Both the number of IPOs and funds raised in the first half of 2015 surpassed the total number of the whole of 2014,” said Frank Lyn, PwC China’s mainland and Hong Kong markets leader. “The strong growth of the IPO market was the inevitable result of favorable policies issued by regulatory authorities and market reforms.”
PwC said that despite the recent rout of the A-share market, it is confident of its forecast.
“We foresee more activity in the IPO market in the second half of the year, with 400 IPOs in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges raising about 300 billion yuan in total,,” Lyn said.
The IPOs will be launched by SMEs in the industrial product, information technology, financial services and consumer goods sectors.
