The European and U.S. IPO market managed to recover in 2009, albeit slowly, from the worst it had suffered in recent history. The US market recorded 63 IPOs for the year, raising a total US$25 billion. Most of the activity took place in the fourth quarter, with 32 IPOs and US$17 billion raised. The European market experienced a similar trend: 151 IPOs (61 in the fourth quarter) and €6.8 billion raised for the year. The strength of the IPO market in 2010, however, will rely on evidence of greater consumer confidence and continued growth of the global economy.
