Traders work during the IPO for Chinese ride-hailing company Didi Global Inc on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) floor in New York City, U.S., June 30, 2021.
There is strong appetite among Chinese companies to list on U.S. stock exchanges, but these IPOs have become a more complicated process, according to Kobe Ge, the head of China at the New York Stock Exchange.
But they're not so familiar with the procedures, which have proved to be more challenging of late, he added.
"Previously, listing in the U.S. was relatively easy," Ge said, noting it would take just four-and-a-half or five months for Chinese firms to complete a U.S. IPO.
Amid a tepid U.S. IPO market, the handful of Chinese names that have been able to list this year have mostly been smaller companies.
