Myners 'highly confident' on digital IPOs

Lord Myners tells FN that despite 'institutional inertia' he is confident that bookbuilding will become part of the digital revolution

The former City minister has criticised the bookbuilding process of IPOs in his review of the Royal Mail sell-off, arguing that the UK needs to be more like Australia when it comes to drumming up investor interest.

The review, led by Lord Paul Myners, was commissioned in July following criticism of the price at which Royal Mail was sold last October.
