Four international firms have landed roles on Metallurgical Corporation of China’s (MCC’s) initial public offering (IPO) – the second-largest listing of the year so far.

The $5.2bn (£3.2bn) raised from the sale of shares on the Shanghai and Hong Kong exchanges makes MCC the second-largest IPO this year after the $7.4bn (£4.6bn) raised by China State Construction Engineering Corporation in July.
