The capital raised is even slightly below 2020, which had been very affected by the health crisis, “says Yannick Petit, president of the consulting company in introductions Allegra Finance. “The strong instability of the markets did not create a sufficiently peaceful climate. Demand was very weak, as evidenced by subscription rates rarely exceeding one-time and IPO prices at the lower end of the range. Many operations have been postponed due to weak investor appetite. These difficult years, as the stock market experienced in 2011 and 2012, can be followed by a catch-up if the macroeconomic context improves,” he tempers.
