2/27/24, 10:36 AM                        Dubai's Parkin IPO To Open Subscription On March 5 | MENAFN.COM
        The listing of the parking business follows the RTA's successful IPO of Dubai Taxi Company,
        which attracted $330 million in November. It was oversubscribed 130 times, covered with over

        $41 billion of demand from investors.


        "Since Parkin is going to be the exclusive service provider to RTA, it will enjoy a unique status
        of near zero competition. This IPO is expected to be oversubscribed multiple times," Munshi

        said.


        "Users can look forward to more technology-driven parking processes whereby hassle of
        parking is reduced since Parkin will now solely concentrate on improvement and

        enhancement of parking services," he said.


        Last year, the RTA raised $1 billion and drew orders of $50 billion for a 24.9 percent stake in a
        public share sale of its toll-road business Salik.


        Dubai raised nearly $8.5 billion from five IPOs last year, fuelled by a government privatisation

        plan to list 10 state-linked companies to boost stock market activity.


        Companies in the region raised $21.9 billion through IPOs last year, more than half the total
        for the wider Europe, Middle East and Africa region, Dealogic data shows.
