Amsterdam is enjoying a record year of initial public offerings, boosted by a flurry of blank-check listings that are eluding most exchanges in Europe.

The Dutch city, home to the world’s oldest stock exchange, has hosted 20 IPOs so far in 2021 for its highest-ever haul of 10.4 billion euros ($11.7 billion), according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
