AS Greece's debt relief saga wears on and bond and stock market investors decide how to react, global dealmakers remain optimistic.
Global M&A activity this year is on track to pass US$3 trillion for the first time since 2007, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. If the dash to consolidate continues - particularly among the biggest healthcare, technology and communications companies - volumes may even pass levels last seen in the years leading up to the global financial crisis. Investment bankers based in the US and Europe believe the trend will continue amid a record number of companies doing transactions now and a possibility that 2015 can top 2007 as the biggest year ever for M&A.
