3. Top IPO destination

Companies raised more capital through initial public offerings (IPOs) on Chinese stock exchanges, including in Hong Kong, than in the US this year – the first time the US has not been the top IPO destination since 2006.

Companies raised $51.6 billion in China, including $27.2 billion in Hong Kong and $24.4 billion on the mainland. In the US, companies only raised $26.5 billion, according to statistics from the British research company Dealogic.

Companies from the mainland accounted for 46 of the 66 new listings on the Hong Kong exchange this year. China Minsheng Banking Corporation raised the most, with HK$30.2 billion ($3.89 billion), and eight of the top ten largest IPOs were mainland companies.

3、全球最大IPO（首次公開發行）市場

2009年，中國（包括香港）的首次公開發行融資規模超過美國，三年來首次取代其成為全球最大IPO市場。

中國的首次公開發行融資規模達到516億美元，香港和內地分別占272億美元和244億美元。而據英國Dealogic調查公司的數據，美國的這一數據僅為265億美元。

在香港新上市的66家企業中，有46家來自內地。其中，中國民生銀行融資規模最大，達到302億港元，在十家融資規模最大的企業中，有八家來自內地。
