SG IPO market slows down, raises $337m in proceeds in H1 Lucia DeGuzman

There were only three initial public offerings in Singapore in the first six months of 2021.
Singapore’s initial public offering (IPO) market saw a slowdown in the first half of 2021, with proceeds totalling $337m. Market capitalisation for the three IPOs in the first half stood at $1.11b.
Two of the three IPOs conducted in the first half of the year were listed on Catalist, raising a total of $23m, whilst the one mainboard listing raised $314m.
In its mid-year review, Deloitte said that there is a trend in the Singapore IPO market where the first half is much slower than the second.
In April 2021, Thailand’s export value surpassed $20 billion for the third month in a row, with a growth rate of 13.09% YoY, the largest gain in 36 months. Excluding gold, oil-related products, and weaponry, April exports skyrocketed 25.7% YoY. Rising export trend is consistent with Global Manufacturing PMI level of 55.8, the highest in 11 years. Nevertheless, imports climbed 29.8% YoY to $21.25 billion, resulting in a comparatively small trade surplus of $182.48 million a collapse from April 2020 surplus of over $ 2.5 billion. Perhaps, it’s worth noting that last year’s export performance was distorted, and therefore severely understated, by the global lockdown.
