This is the first decrease in terms of numbers of transactions (since the beginning of our coverage starting with 1995) and a decrease in value for the second year in a row. This decrease in GCC deal activity is higher than the overall trend worldwide.Intra-GCC have seen the lowest decrease, while acquisitions abroad and foreign acquisitions in GCC have been significantly lower in 2009. The share of cross-border deals in GCC however remains at a relatively high level. The majority of acquisitions abroad by GCC took place in Jordan followed by Germany, the United Kingdom and India.
In terms of value, Germany was the number 1 place for acquisitions outside of the GCC. Almost three quarters of the transaction value of GCC deals outside the region were spent in Western Europe. Foreign acquirors in GCC mostly came fromWestern Europe and Asia-Pacific, with Malaysia and the United Kingdom playing an important role in 2009. The majority of deals in terms of number and value have taken place in the industrial sector. While value in industrials and materials transactions has increased and healthcare remained stable (at a low level), deal value in consumer, financials, telecommunications and real estate sector has decreased dramatically. 7 out of the top 10 deals have been cross-border transactions.
