DASHBOARD | M&As
A GREAT DEAL
2015 has established itself as a record-breaking year for cross-border M&A post-financial crisis. With corporate deal-making activity at record highs, those companies are also executing record levels of cross-border transactions, a global trend reflected in the Middle East. Overall M&A in 2015 reached US$4.28 trillion, of which 39% were cross-border in nature at US$1.66 trillion on 5,441 deals, up 17% on value over the prior year and enough to set a new post-crisis record.
