has unfortunately languished. In 2008, the market saw only one mining transaction worth $4 million, and it saw only one oil and gas transac- tion in all of 2011. A similar pattern has been seen in Guatemala, after a spike in activity in 2010, the market has consistently slowed. In 2012, the market saw nine deals across five sectors worth $251 million. Dur- ing 2012, electric power brought in $228 million from one transaction – 50% less than in 2011. Hydroelectric power brought it 19 million from one transaction. In Honduras, although four transactions took place in the industry,


no monetary value was attached. The 2012 activity mirrored the activ- ity from the year before. In 2010, a mining deal brought in $20 mil- lion. In 2012, the Nicaraguan energy, natural resources, and utilities in-

dustries totaled $91 million with seven deals. Diversified utility and energy recorded two deals worth $69 million while mining saw four deals totaling $21 million. The 2012 activity was a complete uptick from 2011 and 2010 that saw five deals worth $1 million and two deals worth $23 million, respectively. Finally in Panama, mining overshadowed the energy, natural re-


sources, and utilities industries with three deals worth $180 million. There was some activity in the diversified oil and gas, waste manage- ment, hydroelectric power, and electric power sectors, but no monetary value is recorded here. In 2011, the same number of transactions took place with a total value of $219 million. The value of deals has been consistently low since 2007, when the industry brought in $205 mil- lion from eight deals.

Chile Last year was fairly busy for Chilean M&A. Down from its $9.3 billion peak in 2011, a total of 43 deals worth $6.5 billion took place during the course of 2012. The mining sector controlled the market with 25 deals worth $4.3 billion. Anglo American Sur, a company who owns copper assets in Chile, was targeted for $2.9 billion. Chile’s Vista Her- mosa Copper was purchased by Canadian firm QRS Capital for $35 million. Electric power recorded 10 transactions totaling $548 million. Metal


and steel products maintained its 2011 numbers with two deals worth 18 million. After a flat 2011, 2012 saw hydroelectric power close a deal worth $376 million. Nearly five years after it peaked, diversified utility and energy recorded two transac- tions worth $20 million in 2012.

Colombia The downward trend in the Colombian market continued in 2012, with 58 transactions totaling $2.21 billion. Min- ing, a staple of Colombia’s economy and one of the most highly sought prospects in the world (though stymied by regulatory problems and the inefficiency or incompetence of Colombian officials), was responsible for the most activ- ity, with 14 deals worth $1.14 billion. In spite of all the hur- dles faced by those seeking to explore or obtain licenses for mining, the sector appears to be regaining its 2010 momen- tum, when it closed 32 transactions totaling $2.6 billion. For the first time since 2008, the metal and steel process- ing sector recorded some activity and closed three deals
