Last year was a respectable period for global initial public offerings, which saw the New York Stock Exchange regain its title as the most attractive stock exchange, leading the way in money raised.
More than 1,624 initial public offerings (IPOs), raising a combined $189 billion, were made in 2017, according to EY data. Nearly 175 IPOs were floated in the United States, raising almost $40 billion, an increase of 84 percent in proceeds and 55 percent in number compared to 2016.
