'We often review the possibility of taking Jardine [companies] public, and we did review, in some depth, taking JOS public during [last year],' managing director Percy Weatherall said yesterday.
'However, we took the downturn in the value of shares in the IT and e-commerce sector in the second half of the year into consideration also.
'Because of this, we are no longer pursuing a listing for JOS.'
Nonetheless, Mr Weatherall said that Jardine could reconsider its position if market conditions improved.

'Clearly, market conditions would be the driver behind that,' he said.
