There were almost no IPOs in Europe in 2022

No real IPOs appeared on the WSE's main market last year. On other exchanges on the old continent, it was only slightly better, according to PwC data.
Many companies, faced with falling indexes, had to abandon or postpone their initial public offerings (IPOs). In Europe, this led to a nearly 80 percent drop in the total value of offerings compared to 2021. Capital, raised by companies and shareholders, amounted to just €15.6 billion. More than 58 percent of this amount went to Porsche, making Deutsche Börse the largest market in Europe in terms of IPO value in 2022. It was immediately followed by Borsa Italiana, where the largest IPO was Technoprobe with an offering worth €0.7 billion. In third place was the London Stock Exchange, where a record 17 entities debuted (102 in total in Europe).
The WSE ranked at the gray end of the list with a score of zero. The statistics look slightly better for NewConnect, where 16 new entrants appeared.
