DEAL-making activity in Singapore moderated in the third quarter from the relentless pace seen in the first two quarters of the year.
The Republic saw mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deals of US$7.7 billion in the third quarter, down from US$29.4 billion in the first quarter and US$24.7 billion in the second, latest data from Thomson Reuters revealed.
Nonetheless, despite the dip in momentum, industry players foresee robust M&A activity again in the fourth quarter and next year.
