The company which created “Angry Birds,” the world’s most popular computer game, is considering a stock market flotation in Hong Kong, joining the many foreign firms who have gone public there.

“In Asia there are growing markets — the people and the money,” Peter Vesterbacka, marketing chief of Finnish company Rovio, told Reuters.

Finnish weekly Tekniikka&Talous reported on Friday the firm was looking at 2013 for the IPO but Vesterbacka said no decision had been made.

Other large global firms to have gone public on the Hong Kong exchange include fashion house Prada, luggage maker Samsonite and cosmetics maker L’Occitane.

Companies benefit from access to high liquidity from Chinese pension funds and retail investors and the bourse offers higher valuations in some sectors.

“Angry Birds,” in which players use a slingshot to attack pigs who steal the birds’ eggs, has stayed top game since it was launched for Apple’s iPhone in 2009.
