Capitalising on trends and emerging opportunities in cross border deals structuring and financing in the current market climate
Successful M&A transactions depend on the complete analysis of the costs and benefits associated with the deals. Investors must consider the many complex issues involved in an M&A. Identifying what would be the most beneficial form of equity structure is crucial in today s credit market. One size will not fit all as M&A comes in various shapes and sizes. Expansion of ownership boundaries via M&A is achievable if there are synergies, economies of scale through operation / market expansion and cost advantages. It is critical to look at these new forces that drive companies to M&A and the different ways the deals are accomplished, in order to find the best structure to enhance their market power.
In Asia, green shoots are prominent, showing signs of recovery. An optimistic outlook of M&A in the global market is due to the uptrend towards liquidity and increased business confidence. This is most noted in the financial services, resources, energy and telecommunications who are active participants of M&A. Relatively, Asia has fewer deal failures as compared to the Western markets. Economic growth is expected in corporate restructuring and M&A activities. Apart from that, recovered stock markets, modest inflation and strong currencies in Asia are seen to make this region as an attractive location for investment.
