Asia Pacific M&A Bulletin – Recovering to a new reality (Mid-year 2009)
(18/2009)
Developing Asia is expected to grow 5.5% in 2009 and 7% in 2010. Asia also has many corporations with strong balance sheets, plus cash-rich sovereign wealth funds. Over the past 12 months they have continued to flex their substantial financial muscle to make acquisitions both within Asia Pacific and outbound across the globe. Much of this activity, led by Chinese buyers, has been focused on the resources and energy sectors. We expect these, together with food, to remain Asia’s key investment themes in the coming year as Developing Asia seeks resources, energy and food security in response to its fast-growing and urbanising economies and populations.
