THE Asia-Pacific region, and the Greater China area especially, continued to stand out in 2015 in initial public offering (IPO) activity and capital raised, despite the cooling down of global IPO activity during the first half of the year, according to EY.

A report released by the international auditing firm said that by the end of the first half of 2015, 631 IPO deals had been reached, of which 355 were from the Asia-Pacific region, accounting for 56 per cent of deals worldwide.
