Chart of the Day: Domestic IPO issuance to crash 64.5% in 2015

It won't even reach the $1b mark.

2015 will be an extremely lacklustre year for Singapore’s IPO market, according to a report by Baker&McKenzie.

The report said that domestic IPO issuance is projected to fall 64.5% year-on-year from US$2.1 billion in 2014 to US$745.5 million in 2015, before peaking at US$3.2 billion in 2018.

“Sluggish world trade volumes and China’s economic slowdown is restraining Singapore’s growth. However, we expect world trade activity to improve in 2016, which along with increased government spending on infrastructure, should boost overall GDP growth in 2016,” said the report.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
