MERGERS and acquisitions (M&A) activity in most South-east Asian countries bucked the overall downtrend in the Asia-Pacific (Apac) ex-Japan for the first half this year, with Singapore recording US$17.1 billion in deals - a 154 per cent jump from a year ago.
Real estate behemoth CapitaLand's US$8.1 billion acquisition of Ascendas-Singbridge from Temasek accounted for almost half the city-state's total and remains the largest deal in Apac ex-Japan for the first six months this year.
