The maker of "Angry Birds," the world's most popular video game, is looking to go public in Hong Kong, joining the many foreign firms that have done there.
"In Asia there are markets that are growing, people and money," said Peter Vesterbacka Reuters, head of marketing for the Finnish company Rovio.
The Finnish weekly Tekniikka & Talous said Friday that the firm was thinking in 2013 to exit the stock market, but said Vesterbacka had not yet taken any decision.
Other major world companies have gone public in Hong Kong, including Prada's signature design, the manufacturer of Samsonite luggage and cosmetics company L'Occitane.
Companies benefit from access to the high liquidity of the Chinese pension funds and retail investors, as well as higher valuations of securities offerings in some sectors.
Rovio can also choose New York for its IPO.
"Angry Birds," in which players use a slingshot to attack the pigs steal the eggs of birds, has remained at the top of lists of games since the launch of Apple iPhone in 2009.
The weekly estimated the value of Rovio between 2,000 and 7,000 million euros.
