Chinese online retailer Alibaba is reportedly meeting potential investors this week, as part of what could be the world’s largest ever stock market flotation.

The company, dubbed “China’s answer to Amazon”, could see a share price of between $60 and $66, raising a total of $15 billion from the move and making it one of the world’s biggest listed companies.

Tomas Freyman from accountants BDO commented: ‘Its revenues already exceed eBay and Amazon combined. But Alibaba’s IPO secures China’s entry into the tech stock major league.’
