INTERNATIONAL
 
In a first, India among the top five ECM markets globally in 2022
India was among the top five markets, globally, in terms of equity fundraising despite the quantum of funds raised declining by 43 per cent. According to a report by Kotak Investment Banking, funds to the tune of $16.4 billion were transacted via equity capital market (ECM) activity in India in 2022.
 
India’s outperformance comes on the back of a sharper decline in ECM activity in major markets such as the United KingdomAustralia and Japan. ECM activity globally took a hit on account of heightened volatility amid rising interest rates.
 The equity capital market (ECM) refers to the arena where financial institutions help companies raise equity capital and where stocks are traded. It consists of the primary market for private placements, initial public offerings (IPOs), and warrants; and the secondary market, where existing shares are sold, as well as futures, options, and other listed securities are traded.
