London's New Listings Hit 28-Year Low as AstraZeneca Weighs Exit

London's New Listings Hit 28-Year Low as AstraZeneca Weighs Exit

Bloomberg02-07-2025
London marked the slowest first half-year for IPO volume since 1997, a grim milestone punctuated by a report that AstraZeneca Plc 's chief executive officer wants to move the company's listing to the US.
With companies going where liquidity is abundant, a steady drip of firms being taken private, and too few initial public offerings coming along to replace them, pressure is mounting to reverse the slow but inexorable shrinking of London's historic trading venue. More than $100 billion worth of London-listed companies have announced or executed plans to move to New York in recent years, Bloomberg calculations show.

Hygiene scores in for Suffolk restaurants, takeaways, and cafes

The scores are in, and the latest batch of food hygiene ratings for Suffolk restaurants, cafes, takeaways, and businesses have been revealed. Environmental health officers from Ipswich have been busy this fortnight visiting businesses across the area to see if they are meeting hygiene requirements. Based on guidelines set by the Food Standards Agency, inspectors look to see how clean the facilities are; what food safety management procedures are in place and how hygienic food handling is. Ratings are then dished out from five to zero, with the higher score the better the result. Five — Very Good Remedy by Mung Bean at 2 Maiden Way, Hadleigh, rated 5 on July 28, 2025. Baghdad Restaurant at 18 Tacket Street, Ipswich, rated 5 on July 22, 2025. KFC at 5 Anglia Parkway South, Ipswich, rated 5 on July 22, 2025.
