JAKARTA/SINGAPORE, April 11 (Reuters): GoTo soared as much as 23% in its market debut on Monday after Indonesia's largest tech company raised $1.1 billion in a keenly watched IPO, fuelling expectations of more offerings to come from the sector in South-East Asia's largest economy.

The initial public offering (IPO) is the world's fifth-largest this year, Refinitiv data showed, and went forward despite many IPOs across the globe being pulled due to the Russia-Ukraine war and rising interest rates.
