B&E Indicators

Global M&As on the rise

Global M&A deals in 2010 closed at $2.4 trillion, a 23% increase from 2009 after 2 consecutive years of 31% decline. Deal volume also increased, but only by 3%, suggesting that bigger deals were being concluded. Asia Pacific deal value jumped 31%, reflecting global interest in the fastest growing region in the world. In fact, Q4 2010, with $202 billion in announced deals, set a new record as the busiest quarter based on deal value.

A boom in Asia Pacific deals

Asia Pacific M&A deals (by target nations) closed 2010 at $574 billion. They grew by 33%, faster than the rest of the world and accounted for 23% of global M&A deals, up from 22% a year ago. Though Asia Pacific deal volume fell 1% y-o-y to 12,777 deals, the average deal size increased 33% y-o-y. Not surprisingly, China once again led Asia Pacific M&A with announced deal value of $135 billion, followed by Australia and Japan.
