In Bloomberg's third-quarter rankings, the LSE dropped three positions to 23rd. IPO volume at the UK exchange dropped 69% this year to $248 million, marking a low not seen in over 35 years.
This year's largest IPO in London was the share offering by financial firm MHA Plc, totaling £98 million ($132 million).
In the third quarter, IPO volume on the LSE reached just $42 million, marking a decline of 85% compared to the prior year.
London's historical position as a global financial center has diminished due to competition from other European markets and the emergence of hubs in Asia and the Middle East. Decreased company valuations in London have prompted their shift towards private investors or alternative markets like New York, reducing London's significance, which has traditionally been one of the top global IPO locations.
In 2013, London represented over 50% of all European IPOs, but this year, it made up just 3%, as reported by Bloomberg.
This year, the United States tops the IPO volume with $52.92 billion, followed by Hong Kong with $23.39 billion and mainland China with $16.17 billion. The leading five also features exchanges in India ($11.16 billion) and Saudi Arabia ($4.38 billion).
