3 Global Confident management teams and shareholders in continue to rally M&A totals. The value of M&A announcements during increased 11.6% compared to the same period last year with US$ 1.70tn-worth of deals versus US$ 1.52tn this time last year, marking the highest half-year period since 2007 following Q2 s third consecutive quarterly increase.

The mega-deals (>US$ 10bn) phenomenon continued at an even greater pace in with 28 deals amounting to US$ 678.1bn, the highest value and deal count for any period on Mergermarket record, and a giant 87.2% leap in value with twelve more announcements compared to. A digitised world results in multiple industries needing to acquire companies that will provide new technologies, or those able to help build them so they can advance. Telecommunications, Industrial & Chemicals and Consumer firms are hot on the tail of Technology targets this year. As a result, Technology M&A is well on its way to reaching the highest annual value on record, with deals reaching US$ 198.3bn so far in, just 10.7% from s record total (US$ 222.1bn). US, Asia-Pacific and Europe are taking different paths for growth when it comes to accessing global opportunities. Total cross-border M&A between different countries slowed during compared to last year, down 9.2% from with deals valued at US$ 635.1bn versus US$ 699.1bn. US firms turned their attention to domestic activity and European firms focused on cross-border M&A mainly within European borders.

5 Europe Europe s rebound in has slowed in with ongoing discussions for a potential Grexit, UK euro scepticism and a slide in the Euro value affecting outbound M&A. Announcements valued at US$ 449.8bn during were 8.1% below. Inversion deals were a theme in, but US regulations have visibly hindered deal making between US and European firms. Inbound M&A worth US$ 160.7bn has seen 40.0% of this come from the US (US$ 64.3bn), down from 67.1% in. The expected Monsanto/Syngenta deal could be an indication of how future inversion deals are likely to turn out, pending approvals. European firms have withdrawn from being active foreign acquirers with the continued weak Euro rate likely to be a deterrent. Outbound M&A in Q1 and Q2 were the lowest quarterly values in eighteen months, resulting in s US$ 73.2bn-worth of deals dropping 42.7% compared to and with 133 fewer deals.

11 Japan Japanese management teams are leading their companies away from a stationary economy and outside of their home market. Total outbound M&A has already hit an annual three-year peak at US$ 54.1bn, with other Asian targets taking a 42.2% proportion, a jump from an average of 23.9% since In a race to regain a position in the technology market, this was the second most sought after industry by deal count for Japanese firms looking towards other Asian companies. Japanese outbound investment targeting Asian technology firms saw seven deals valued at US$ 1.8bn, a jump from just five transactions worth US$ 146m in. Another driving force behind outbound M&A is the effort to acquire technology in Europe.

Domestic activity saw fifteen more deals compared to but with a 6.5% lower deal value with 181 transactions amounting to US$ 12.7bn showing a pick-up in activity but for the lower deal size brackets.

13 Africa & Middle East Total M&A activity targeting the region has fallen, as a decreased domestic deal value signals a lack of confidence in home markets. The value of M&A dropped 29.4% to US$ 18.9bn compared to, the lowest deal value since domestic activity (92 deals worth US$ 9.1bn) also saw a 52% decrease compared to, with 36 fewer deals.

The 29 deals worth US$ 8.1bn showed a 84.5% increase compared to, not reaching 2013's record deal value (US$ 11.5bn), as some companies come under pressure to sell assets in order to cut costs because of the fall in oil prices. Inbound activity has increased year-on-year, driven by interest from foreign companies towards UAE.
