Has Singapore quietly become one of the world’s hottest IPO destinations?

The city-state has rocketed into the global top 10, overtaking London as real-estate listings power its rise.

Globally, IPOs are rebounding as 2025 sees stronger deal flow and an 89% surge in proceeds amid calmer markets.

EY’s Chan Yew Kiang walks us through what’s driving the US, Greater China, and Southeast Asia - and why Hong Kong’s comeback matters.

We explore sector trends, cross-border listings, and whether more issuers are choosing New York over home turf.

Investors get a forward look at catalysts heading into 2026 - hosted by Michelle Martin.
