Qatar Shares to Kick Off 2018 Near Cheapest Level in Eight Years - Bloomberg
Qatar Shares to Kick Off 2018 Near Cheapest Level in Eight Years - Bloomberg:
"After being battered by political turmoil this year, Qatari shares are set to start the next one near their cheapest levels relative to emerging-market peers since early 2010. That’s a change for the nation’s stocks, which traded at a premium for most of the preceding three years. A selloff triggered by a political spat between Qatar and its neighbors sent valuations plummeting. While politics will remain in focus in 2018, analysts and investors say some shares in Doha are now trading at attractive levels."

"Global IPO volumes in 2017 reached the highest level in a decade, according to the latest Cross-Border IPO Index (as at 4 December 2017) by global law firm Baker McKenzie. The Middle East region also picked up with 300 per cent increase in value of domestic deals and securing the first cross-border listing in the region since 2015. Low market volatility as a result of the relatively benign geopolitical environment and improved market sentiment were behind the increase in global IPO activity, which saw both cross-border and domestic activity grow. In total, 1,694 companies raised $206.6 billion from IPOs, a jump of around a third in both value and volume on 2016."
