Flood of issues may swamp the region's edgy markets

Article Abstract:

Asia's financial markets have recovered from the 1997 crisis but they are being threatened with share offerings that threaten to deluge the market. For instance, a total of $7.8 billion in new equity contained in more than 30 stock offerings will inundate Hong Kong. In Japan, a dozen firms are planning to have their listing in the stock market before the end of Oct 1999 while 20 companies are expected to enlist in Singapore's stock market. The influx of issues has intensified the climate of uncertainty in the area.
