While the Indian markets have seen a pick-up in new share sales in 2016, the market for initial public offers (IPO) worldwide has been in a slump.
A slowdown in China, Britain’s vote to leave the European Union and the US presidential campaign have led to much market volatility. Now, with members of the US Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee divided over monetary policy, volatility is set to continue.
About 70% of respondents in a survery of C-suite executives by <a href="http://www.dealstreetasia.com/?s=mergermarket">Mergermarket </a>who are seeking a listing in Asia say that turmoil has infuenced their IPO strategy. Yet, the attraction of going public remains strong. More than half (58%) of the respondents expect the IPO window to reopen in the next 12 months, while a further 38% suggest it will happen in the next 24 months.
These respondents believe they are weathering the economic challenges, are well-prepared for an IPO, can achieve their desired valuation and are, therefore, ready to push the button. Here’s a look at four charts that sum up the state of world IPO markets:
