Funds raised through IPOs on the Shanghai Stock Exchange next year will be triple those raised this year, according to projections from accounting firm Ernst & Young. Terence Ho, Strategic Growth Markets Leader for Ernst & Young, predicted that the abundant supply of stocks wouldn't lead to a market plunge. The firm's report released Monday said next year's IPOs on the SSE would raise 380 billion yuan ($55.6 billion), up from this year's 118 billion yuan ($17.3 billion). About 447 billion yuan ($65.4 billion) was raised from 120 IPOs in 2007. Ernst & Young expects 30- 40 IPOs on the exchange next year, with most coming from financial and industrial firms, said Ho. The firm's estimate on the number of IPOs next year comes from the number of companies already approved and those waiting to apply for an IPO. The new IPOs next year won't lead to an oversupply on the stock market, because "the raised funds are only a small part of the trading volume," and investor confidence is trending upward, Ho said. "The stimulus policy pushed up the economy, and the market liquidity is likely to be maintained," Ho said. "Market demand is still strong on IPOs after 9 months of suspension following...more
