EUROPEAN EQUITY CAPITAL market volumes are booming. The volume of equity issued year to date is the biggest ever and January 2005 was a record start to the year.
European equity issuance volume in January, a traditionally slow month, amounted to €22.5 billion, nearly double last January’s total of €11.9 billion, according to Dealogic, an investment banking research company. Year to date, over €33.1 billion has been raised.
“It is unusual to find such a healthy market in January,” says John St John, global head of ECM at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein.
