Public offerings have been playing an increasingly important role in fundraising for an accelerated development of businesses in the new economy. The IPO market has triggered an intense competition between the USA and China. Russia’s stock market has stayed away from these processes. The experience of the USA and China shows that for the IPO market to properly develop, it is not sufficient just to introduce some formal changes in the specific procedures for handling certain types of stock market transactions, or any new tax incentives. It is necessary to launch more profound institutional changes targeting the motives of stock issuers, investors and government departments.

Key words: financial markets, stock markets of the USA, Cuna and Russia, initial public offering, IPO, SPAC-companies, SPAC.
