Summary
After navigating a volatile Q1, the capital markets stabilized in 2023 and finished the year with a small flurry of IPO activity. Corporations maintained access to the debt markets despite higher interest rates and bank liquidity concerns. However, equity issuance was tamped down across the board. Although the deal pipeline looks promising, investors are still waiting to see whether central banks require further action to temper inflation and how markets will react before ramping up support for new deals.
Register for our webinar to discuss the following topics with our speakers:
- Sector-focused reviews and outlooks for 2024 equity issuance
- Tracking rate activity and potential further central bank action
- The corporate standpoint on potential investments
- IPO review and calendar outlook
