KIEV, Jan. 22 – Several Ukrainian companies are ready to handle an initial public offering (IPO) on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) in 2013 and waiting when the situation on the stock market improves, according to WSE spokesman Blazej Karwowski.

"Much depends on the situation on the global stock market. There are a few projects - some Ukrainian companies have already got ready [for an IPO] and are waiting for a better situation on the stock market. These are [companies in the] agriculture and other sectors," he told Ukrainian reporters.

Karwowski said that one of the decisive factors is the macroeconomic situation in Ukraine.
