Since the beginning of this year, the amount raised by Hong Kong IPOs has increased significantly year-on-year. Data shows that as of November 21st, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has welcomed a total of 57 IPO enterprises, with a total initial fundraising amount of 71.112 billion Hong Kong dollars. In the same period last year, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange welcomed 54 IPO enterprises, with a total initial fundraising amount of 35.728 billion Hong Kong dollars. According to data from the China Securities Regulatory Commission, as of November 21st, 129 enterprises have submitted materials for overseas listing this year, with the majority planning to list in Hong Kong. UBS Group's Vice Chairman of Global Investment Banking and Co-head of Asia Enterprises Client Department Li Zhengguo expects that in the fourth quarter of this year, the primary market of Hong Kong stocks will remain active. He hopes that driven by large IPO projects, Hong Kong's annual IPO fundraising amount will once again rank among the top three globally. (Securities Times)
