IPO Boom: Why Malaysia Is Outpacing Southeast Asia

Accounting for 33% of Southeast Asia’s total IPO proceeds, Malaysia has emerged as a leader in the region, raising RM2 billion and securing four out of the top 10 IPOs, according to Deloitte’s 2024 Southeast Asia Mid-Year IPO Snapshot report.

In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we dive into the state of IPOs in Southeast Asia, with a special focus on Malaysia’s impressive market performance in the first half of 2024, with Wong Kar Choon, Disruptive Events Advisory Leader at Deloitte Malaysia.

We discuss the factors driving Malaysia’s strong IPO performance, the challenges companies face in going public, and what the future holds for the IPO landscape in Southeast Asia. We’ll also explore the implications of this IPO momentum for the broader regional market and whether Malaysia can sustain its leading position throughout the year.

Tune in to understand the dynamics behind Malaysia’s current rise as Southeast Asia’s IPO powerhouse.
