Market buoyancy and liquidity bolster market
The current market buoyancy is driven by broad investor participation, with retail buyers eager to capitalize on attractive listing gains.

Robust liquidity among both domestic and foreign institutional investors, has significantly bolstered the IPO market pipeline.
