Asia M&A Monitor
Asianius Research, Dec 2011, Pages: 35
Asia Pacific is one of the most active mergers and acquistions markets. While global deal volume increased by 3% in 2010, Asia Pacific deal value jumped 31% reflecting global interest in the fastest growing region in the world. China led Asia Pacific M&As with announced deal value of USD135 billion, followed by Australia and Japan.
In August 2011, Dealogic reported that the Asia Pacific region had witnessed a flurry of mid-size mergers and acquisitions, with the total mid-market M&A deal volume hitting a record high of USD 117.7 billion through 440 transactions. This is 23 percent more than last year's period up to mid-August, which saw volumes worth USD 96.1 billion, involving 359 deals.
The Asia growth story will continue to drive investment themes in 2012 and beyond. Whilst asset bubbles and inflation are potential threats, Asia is still the market to be in. M&A in Asia will be driven by Western companies with strong balance sheets seeking market access, while Asian corporations, bolstered by strong home markets and stronger currencies, will seek out resources and Western brands and know-how.
Asia M&A Monitor provides essential news and research on mergers, acquisitions and other transactions in Asia’s leading economies, to corporations, hedge funds, private equity firms, investment banks and law firms.
Key themes and new trends in Asian M&A and equity markets are analyzed and, every month, a detailed list of M&A deals in Asia is provided, highlighting the target name, the acquirer name, seller name as well as deal status.
