  + stars: | 2023-07-10 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
After the fine, the next step would be to obtain the financial holding license, which is crucial for reviving any listing plans by Ant. A second license Ant is waiting to procure is one for a personal credit reporting company. IPO PROSPECTSThe resolution of Ant's regulatory woes has revived talk of whether the company's listing could be back on the cards. Alibaba, which has a 33% stake in Ant, said on Sunday it was considering whether to participate in the buyback. Ant's major shareholders, Hangzhou Junhan Equity Investment Partnership and Hangzhou Junao Equity Investment Partnership, have voluntarily decided not to participate in the repurchase.

China is starting to show what sway it has in the semiconductor supply chain, and stocks are only starting to react. About a week ago on July 3 , China's Commerce Ministry announced export restrictions on germanium and gallium would take effect on Aug. 1. WestSummit claims about 20 billion yuan ($2.77 billion) in assets under management. China's latest export curbs follow sweeping U.S. export restrictions in October to limit Chinese businesses' access to advanced semiconductor technology. One of Delta's investments, Shanghai New Vision Microelectronics, raised just over 1 billion yuan in an initial public offering on Shanghai's Star board on June 1.

SYDNEY/SINGAPORE, June 20 (Reuters) - Asia's dealmakers are counting on a pause in rate hikes globally and an economic rebound in China to rekindle activity in the region's equity capital markets, after volumes in the first half of the year sank to their lowest in four years. First-half Asia Pacific equity capital markets volumes dropped 16% to $117.2 billion from the same period in 2022, including a 34% drop in initial public offerings (IPOs) to $34.3 billion, Refinitiv data showed. "For investor sentiment to return for IPOs we need to see a more stable interest rate environment in the U.S., more economic stimulus from China and an improving geopolitical backdrop," said Cathy Zhang, head of Asia Pacific equity capital markets at Morgan Stanley. "We are hoping to see more IPO activity in the second half and starting to see some green shoots in the U.S. and Europe," said Udhay Furtado, Citigroup's co-head of Asia equity capital markets. As bankers scan their pipeline of IPO candidates for the second half, larger transactions in the region are being favoured to help kick-start activity.

SHANGHAI, May 18 (Reuters) - Chinese chipmaker Hua Hong Semiconductor Ltd (1347.HK) said it had received Shanghai Stock Exchange approval for its planned $2.6 billion share listing, which is expected to be one of the country's biggest this year. Hong Kong-listed Hua Hong's plan for a secondary listing on Shanghai's STAR Market has been approved by the bourse's listing committee, and it will submit an application for registration to China's securities regulator, the company said late on Wednesday. Hua Hong joins a growing list of Chinese chipmakers to sell shares publicly on the mainland amid a Sino-U.S. rivalry that has seen Washington stepping up efforts to restrict exports to Beijing's semiconductor industry. Hua Hong, which competes with bigger Chinese rival Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (0981.HK), has said it plans to raise up to 18 billion yuan ($2.60 billion) to fund investment and innovation.

Under the new system, China's stock exchanges will themselves vet IPOs with a focus on information disclosure. The reform was hailed by state media and analysts as a key milestone that would make China's IPO market more inclusive, transparent and efficient. "Paternalism and politics continue to play a big role" in the new IPO system, he said. STAR SYSTEMThe registration-based IPO system was first adopted by Shanghai's STAR Market when the tech-focused board was launched in 2019. The new IPO system was later rolled out to the start-up board ChiNext, and the Beijing Stock Exchange.
SYDNEY, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Asian equity capital markets activity, languishing at three-year lows now, is set to get a much needed boost in 2023 from China's expected re-opening to the rest of the world after a spate of COVID-19 lockdowns, dealmakers said. "As China's re-opening happens, market activity will come in stages," said Edward Byun, Goldman Sachs' co-head of equity capital markets in Asia ex-Japan, adding that secondary market trading and follow-on capital raisings would benefit first.

HONG KONG, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Hong Kong dealmakers expect China's 20th Party Congress next week to herald a shift in focus in Beijing back towards business and economic issues that could help revive the city's IPO issuance from nine-year lows.

There has been just $9.28 billion worth of IPOs in Hong Kong this year, down from $37.1 billion in the same period in 2021, according to Refinitiv figures. Moreover, more than 80% of the IPOs in Hong Kong this year are trading under water since their debut, according to Dealogic data.
