Adjusting to the downturn: Asian mid-market M&A spotlightIs the future of Asian M&A in the mid-market? |
Deloitte is pleased to commission the second annual mid-market report by Mergermarket. As a specialist in this segment of the M&A market in Asia, we see, despite the sharp fall in overall M&A volumes, that smaller mid-market transactions have remained at a fairly robust level.
We believe this will continue through the remainder of this year and into 2010, notwithstanding the economic recession, as buyers look very selectively at smaller but strategic assets that are now becoming reasonably priced.
As this report states, there has been a strong tendency to more Intra-Asia cross-border deals in the important sectors in Energy, Mining and Manufacture, with more Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Indian buyers foraging for strategic assets in Australia and South East Asia.
