HONG KONG - Hong Kong is on track to regain its position as the world's top fund-raising venue for initial public offerings (IPOs) in 2025, according to consulting and accounting firm PwC.
An estimated 90 to 100 companies are forecast to raise between HK$200 billion (S$32.5 billion) and HK$220 billion in the Chinese territory in 2025, PricewaterhouseCoopers said on July 2.
The city's IPO market is red-hot so far in 2025, boosted by a string of blockbuster deals as Chinese firms seek capital to expand after a years-long lull.
