InvestorDaily

Last year saw US$927.8 billion in M&A deals completed in the Asia Pacific ex-Japan, up 44 per cent on 2014 and more than double the US$410.3 billion recorded in 2013.

In fact, the amount spent in M&A deals in the Asia Pacific excluding Japan in 2015 is the highest yearly figure on record since Mergermarket began monitoring the market in 2007.

“The size of deals undertaken in the region increased as investor confidence grew, with seven ‘mega-deals’ (over US$10bn) worth a total value of US$168.4 billion announced in 2015, up from five worth US$138.5 billion in the whole of 2014,” said the Mergermarket report.
