Paul Lau, Partner Head of Capital Markets & Professional Practice KPMG China: “In 2023, global IPO activities encountered notable challenges due to a combination of factors, including geopolitical uncertainties, high interest rates, and a slower-than-expected economic recovery. While the effects of these challenges might endure into 2024, there is reason to believe that the worst is over, presenting an opportunity for IPO markets to stabilise soon. In 2024, IPO candidates looking to restart their IPO plans will need to be adaptable and resilient in the face of changing economic conditions to increase their chances of success.”
Louis Lau, Partner, Capital Markets KPMG China: “The Chinese Mainland’s post-Covid-19 economic recovery has fallen short of expectations. It is imperative for the Chinese government to support the positive development of its capital markets to effectively serve the real economy. Looking ahead to 2024, A-share IPO activities are expected to remain steady as regulators continue to support areas related to technology, innovation and sustainability. These measures will foster long-term and sustained growth of the A- share capital market.”
Irene Chu, Partner, Head of New Economy and Life Sciences KPMG China: “2023 marked a slow year for the Hong Kong IPO markets, as both corporates and investors exhibited caution amidst global market uncertainties. Despite the prevailing subdued market sentiments, the fundamentals of Hong Kong’s capital market remain robust and resilient. With investors shifting their attention towards technologies such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors and green technology, Hong Kong is well positioned to spark a recovery in its IPO activity by embracing these growing trends.”
