Comparison between SPAC activity in the U.S. and Europe Q1 2021

All but seven special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) IPOs completed globally in the first quarter 2021 were completed in the United States. The seven remaining deals were closed in Europe, and took place across only four stock exchanges. Special purpose acquisition companies are public companies with neither a specific business plan, nor a product or service to sell.

在全球范围内，2021年第一季度除七家特殊目的收购公司（SPAC）IPO之外，其余均在美国完成。剩余的七笔交易在欧洲完成，且仅涉及四个证券交易所。特殊目的收购公司系一类上市公司，它们既无明确的商业计划，亦无具体的产品或服务可供销售。
