Singapore M&A deal value seen dipping in 2015
Singapore
SINGAPORE's total value of completed merger and acquisition (M&A) deals may fall this year on the back of sluggish world trade volumes and China's economic slowdown, according to Baker & McKenzie.
The Global Transactions Forecast report, conducted by the global law firm and Oxford Economics, predicts that the Republic's total value of completed M&A deals will dip from US$25.2 billion in 2014 to around US$21 billion in 2015 before peaking at US$25.5 billion in 2018.
