Those who run mergers and acquisitions departments in Asia for global investment banks are confident that the M&A surge of 2015 – the deal value of which passed $1 trillion for the first time according to Dealogic – has a very good chance of being repeated in 2016.
Samson Lo, head of M&A in Asia for UBS, said: "There is no sign M&A in Asia Pacific will slow down in 2016. M&A volume will be just as robust as it was in 2015."
