Hong Kong Leads in Share Sales, Outshining India

In a significant shift in the global financial landscape, Hong Kong has overtaken India to claim the title of the world's second-largest market for share sales this year. This marks the first time since 2021 that Hong Kong has achieved this milestone, thanks in part to the active participation of Chinese giants like BYD and Xiaomi, which capitalized on the rebound in stock prices.

Quarterly Financial Highlights

The first quarter witnessed an astonishing 11-fold increase in proceeds from IPOs, block sales, and share placements in Hong Kong, soaring to over $16 billion. This impressive figure places Hong Kong just behind the United States in global rankings. Conversely, Indian deals saw a sharp decline, nearly halving to $6.9 billion, which also positioned them behind Japan and the UK in terms of share sales activity.
