  • What's the market outlook for 2024/25? Can we surpass the highs of 2022, and what might drive renewed momentum?

  • Will the growth of regional private equity funds help or hinder the IPO market?
  • How prepared are smaller GREs to undertake an IPO? What can be learned from previous successful deals?
  • What role are foreign institutional investors expected to play – and will they play it?
