APAC M&A activity up 12% in Q3

Regional forecasts remain positive with an expected 14% increase next year.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity rose 12% YoY in Asia Pacific, according to Intralinks Deal Flow Predictor.

Robust economic demand and strong fiscal policies continue to increase business confidence and drive economic growth.

India, China, Hong Kong and South Korea make the strongest contributions to APAC’s growth, the report added.

Forecast of M&A activity for Q12018 remain rosy with the real estate, materials, consumer and retail sectors expected to lead the pack in M&A activity for the next six months.

Meanwhile, deal activity in industrial and technology, media and telecom (TMT) sectors are expected to decrease for the next six months.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
