Insight
Australia
The COVID-19 capital raisings resulted in an unprecedented amount of funds being raised by Australian businesses in a very short period – in excess of A$26 billion. This was in part facilitated by regulatory changes implemented by ASX and ASIC, which made it easier to raise funds.
In this report we look at:
- the key trends of the Covid-19 raisings
- the regulatory changes that facilitated those raisings and how long they are likely to continue
- other possible regulatory changes, and
- whether this level of capital raising is likely to continue into the future.
