79% of respondents agree Asia Pacific companies see the US and Eurozone uncertainties as an opportunity for acquisitions 91% expectEurozone uncertainties as an opportunity for acquisitions. 91% expect intra-Asia M&A and 73% expect inbound M&A to increase or remain at a similar level as last year.
In terms of target jurisdictions in Asia Pacific, China remains the most popular single market (59%) with Indonesia coming in a close second
Cross-border M&A continues to comprise a substantial proportion of all M&A activity (43% in year to date). Cross-border M&A between regions increased to 30% of total activity. Outbound M&A from emerging markets saw a

The race to secure supplies of natural resources, Asian companies adopting global strategies and depressed valuations in target markets (63%, 57% and 46% respectively) are considered the main drivers for outbound M&A activity.
Resources still dominate as the hot M&A sector with Oil & Gas (52%), Mining (44%) and Consumer Goods & Retail (36%). Mining interest though has cooled down from last year, with a drop of 23% over the previous year.
♢NE
SWRespondents consider it to be a buyer’s market with the buyer being considered in control by 77% of the respondents. For top quality assets though, this is likely to be more balanced or even in favour of sellers.
