Therefore, it is also useful to look at how many offerings have actually been priced, the totaldollarvolume of the offerings, and how many offerings have been withdrawn.
Moreover, slightly more than half the totaldollarvolume of U.S.-based deals was accounted for by one deal General Motors and many of the IPOs in the United States were actually done by Chinese companies.
One big credit-card company we work with does nearly 35 percent of its annual dollarvolume and 20 percent of its total transaction volume this time of year.
U.S. payments volume, a measure of the totaldollar amount of transactions made with debit and credit cards, fell by three percent in April and remained flat over the first four weeks of May compared with last year.
