Citi gets set for growth in the Nordics

Where the Nordics lead, other regions often follow. The region has consistently punched above its weight when it comes to capital markets activity. For instance, Nordic initial public offerings (IPOs) accounted for 44% of all European IPOs by number of deals last year, according to FactSet, and have consistently accounted for about a third of activity over the past five years.
