The global IPO market enjoyed a record year in 2020, with the number of transactions and proceeds being the highest since 2010. Defying all expectations the pattern looks set to continue this year.
2010 – 2011 also saw the last wave of Ukrainian IPOs, driven primarily by agricultural producers listing in Warsaw. But there are signs that the Ukrainian IPO market is starting to stir once more, as a number of companies are anticipated to be preparing for a listing when market conditions are favourable, representing a wider range of industry sectors, including technology and healthcare. Major state-owned enterprises have announced their plans for international listings and are undertaking the necessary steps to modernise, restructure and improve corporate governance.
We have convened a panel of leading experts consisting of top executives from Ukraine’s leading listed companies, as well as potential issuers, to discuss their experiences to date and the outlook and opportunities for the next wave of Ukrainian issuers.
