Hong Kong: Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd has started taking investor orders for a Hong Kong stock offering that is likely to be the world’s biggest listing this year. 

CATL, as the Chinese electric-vehicle battery giant is known, is seeking to raise as much as HK$41bil or about US$5.3bil, according to its listing document yesterday. That’s if the deal is upsized and the greenshoe exercised on top of the base offering of up to HK$31bil.
