China regulatory easing hopes brighten outlook for offshore equity fundraising

Economic Times · 1m

Chinese tech companies are increasingly seeking offshore fundraising as investor sentiment improves due to Beijing's support and the rising popularity of AI startup DeepSeek. Recently, two tech firms raised $500 million, indicating growing momentum in equity sales. This revival follows sluggish fundraising due to economic challenges and regulatory pressures. High-profile meetings with leaders, like President Xi's with Alibaba's founder, signal softened approaches, boosting investor confidence. Consequently, more IPOs, notably in Hong Kong, and increased venture investments, particularly in AI, are anticipated.
