Webcast and report look at ‘what lies ahead?’ in M&A market |
In a new global Webcast and report, Alan Alpert, senior partner, Deloitte Tax LLP, discusses the future of deal activity in the global marketplace while providing insights on the key trends impacting mergers and acquisitions around the world.
Recent marketplace activity indicates that liquidity is imperative for driving M&A growth, and provided that the economy remains relatively stable, deal activity will continue in 2008. Some of the major indicators that have accounted for this activity include the increasing number of cross-border transactions and the heightened role of emerging markets.
Alan discusses these trends and says, that in spite of a decrease in larger deals attributed to the tightening of the credit market, private equity is here to stay, and will continue to be a driver for M&A activity around the globe. He also notes that strategically, companies will continue to pursue growth through M&A, so coupled with private equity dollars, deal flow will remain solid in the new year.
