Introduction
SECOND ANNUAL ASIAN MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS (M&A) CONFERENCE
Asian M&A activities continue to soar from last year to 2008 despite the US credit crisis and the weakness in the Asian stock markets.
According to Thomson Financial, total Asian mergers and acquisitions (M&As) excluding Japan deals done last year were worth USD310bil. The first quarter of 2008 recorded over USD70bil of deals completed with over USD120bil of deals announced.
Most notable has been the increasing prominence of Asian banks in the league tables and especially Malaysian banks filling up the top spots among their international peers.
The second annual Asian M&A conference is the industry standard conference for M&A practitioners in Asia complete with the most current presentations on industry developments by top deal makers, networking sessions, training workshops and an industry award ceremony.
