The global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market remained strong in 2017 with announced transaction volumes reaching $3.7 trillion, according to figures from JP Morgan. This momentum continued into 2018, with over 3,700 deal totaling over 890 billion US Dollars having been undertake globally in the first quarter of this year, according to figures from Mergermarket.
Chinese companies have been among the most energetic buyers throughout the past year. According to CNBC, outbound investments from Chinese companies are expected to pick up in 2018, but not for all sectors, more likely for sectors aligned with the Belt and Road Initiative.
At the ‘M&A Conference 2018: Opportunities Amidst Disruption’ we will look at what some of the motivations of Chinese and foreign companies are in pursuing deals. The M&A Conference is the European Chamber’s annual benchmark event for practitioners to meet their peers to discuss where deal activity this year is headed.
The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to host the M&A Conference this year for the eighth time, and we are again looking forward to welcoming a diverse set of experts that will provide a comprehensive, practical perspective of M&A in China and globally.
