THERE have been more initial public offerings (IPOs) on Asia-Pacific exchanges so far this year than in any other region - with Hong Kong, Australia, Tokyo and Shenzhen among the top 10 markets raising the most capital from listings.
According to Ernst & Young, there were 339 new listings across Asia-Pacific from January to September, compared to 215 IPOs in the year-ago period.
Proceeds were also up, with US$47.4 billion in capital raised so far - a 51 per cent year-on-year increase.
