“Vibrant tech hub in Southeast Asia seen as hot SPAC hunting ground in 2021”
S&P Global | February 9, 2021
Our Head of Investment Banking, Anish Ailawadi, was featured in S&P Global Market Intelligence in a story on special purpose acquisition companies in Southeast Asia.
Extract from article: “South Korea is one of the few Asian countries with a framework and regulations around SPAC listing and, in fact, the first SPAC IPO in South Korea happened way back in 2010… So while Asia is seeing a lot of interest around SPACs, it's a home run for U.S. exchanges given lack of established SPAC rules on Asian stock exchanges barring South Korea and Malaysia.”
