The impact of flooding on listed Thai firms has been limited

Their market capitalisation swelled to 180 billion baht at the end of last year. Seven companies have submitted filings to stock regulators to launch their IPOs, while another 10 will likely apply for listing in April and May. “The window of opportunity for IPOs is opening up after being shuttered for many years.
