The highly anticipated trading debut of private equity group CVC Capital Partners shows that Europe's initial public offering market is back on track, Euronext CEO Stéphane Boujnah told CNBC on Friday.
Shares of Amsterdam-listed CVC, one of Europe's largest buyout companies, jumped around 23% on Friday morning.
The IPO is widely expected to be one of Europe's largest this year.
Boujnah said the Euronext platform, the largest stock exchange in Europe and one of the largest in the world, had welcomed 11 stock listings since the beginning of the year.
"That's a signal of both the success of the Euronext platform and the competitiveness of the Euronext platform — and a signal of the IPO market being back," he added.
