Why Attend?
Full Overview
The IPO market may be about to pick up again, thanks in part to new rules that have made it easier for companies to list on the London Stock Exchange. Regulations have been simplified to entice more international companies to go public in the UK, and to encourage British private firms to choose the London Stock Exchange over other global markets.
Last year was a relatively quiet year for IPOs, with 23 companies going public on the London markets – down from 45 listed in 2022 and 126 in 2021. Meanwhile more than 150 companies left the main market and AIM to be taken private in 2023.
Can we expect a rebound in IPO activity in 2025, and will this boost growth and innovation in the wider UK stock market? Will the number of companies taken private increase? And will we see a net rise or fall in the number of companies listed on the UK markets?
The Financial Times, in partnership with Deutsche Numis, hosted a webinar for leaders of both UK-listed companies and private companies with an interest in listing in London, along with decision-makers in finance and capital markets. Participants heard from company executives, investors and regulators on the outlook for 2025 and increasing the UK’s attractiveness to global companies and investors.
