The Initial Public Offering (IPO) capital markets in Southeast Asia are seeing a rebound, with 120 IPOs across six bourses raising approximately US$6.5 billion in 2025. Total IPO proceeds in the region grew 76% despite a decline in the number of listings, driven by larger deals, shifting sector dynamics, and strong market performances in Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
