Emerging-Market IPOs Slump From Brazil to Russia

Expected boom in new offerings fizzles as interest rates rise and share prices fall.

By Alexander Cuadros, Bloomberg | Updated on June 23, 2011

While Brazil’s stock exchange chief, Russia’s biggest underwriter and India’s government projected IPOs would rise threefold this year to $64 billion, issues are falling. Brazil dropped 29 percent from the year before to $2.7 billion and India sank 74 percent to $753 million, the least for the period for both since 2009, data compiled by bourses and Bloomberg show. Russia rose 16 percent to $3.3 billion and China slid 4.3 percent to $32 billion.
