Leading bankers in the region say the outlook for capital markets in Asia is good in 2011 but that they will struggle to repeat last year’s record-breaking levels of equity issuance.

That constituted 57.5% of global IPO volumes.
In the league tables, the big story is the possibility that in 2011 UBS will be unseated as top dog for volume in Asia.
