Deal Volumes Fell in Most Developed Economies Compared With 2011
Many major developed countries saw sharp drops in M&A levels — France was down 74 percent — and even some emerging econo-
mies such as Brazil and Turkey saw declines.
The biggest percentage gainer was Portugal (323 percent), based on three $4 billion-plus deals — for a highway operator, a cement
company and the state-owned company that runs the country’s three main airports. Singapore was up 188 percent because of two bids
for property and drinks company Fraser & Neave Ltd. and Heineken NV’s purchase of Fraser & Neave’s brewery subsidiary. Russian
deal volume rose 129 percent thanks to Rosneft OAO’s $54.8 billion purchase of TNK-BP Ltd. from BP plc and a group of Russian bil-
lionaires. Glencore International Plc’s deal to buy full control of Xstrata Plc pushed Swiss M&A deal volume up 118 percent from 2011.
Multi-billion-dollar deals in banking, agricultural products, media and real estate as well as in the energy and resources industries
pushed up the totals in Canada.
Shadings in the map below indicate the direction and magnitude of the percentage change. Only countries with at least $4 billion of deal
volume in both 2011 and 2012 are included.

Trends
Asian Buyers Emerge as a Major Factor in Global M&A
China has emerged as a big driver of global M&A over the past six years. Chinese companies came to the fore just as the financial crisis
curbed mergers in much of the rest of the world, and Chinese buying, both domestic and foreign, has held at a fairly constant level since
2007. (The chart below left includes both Mainland and Hong Kong acquirers.)
Japanese companies have re-emerged as major players as they see overseas acquisitions as a vehicle to sustain growth, and the yen’s
rise against the dollar since 2009 has made foreign expansion more attractive.
