Singapore companies to benefit greatly from TPP

Singapore

MEMBER states in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) are likely to see an increase in cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in the years following full ratification of the treaty; and Singapore is set to become one of the prime beneficiaries of such growth, said international law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.

"Singapore is one of the economic powerhouses of the TPP and Singapore companies will be better placed than many others to make outbound investments in fellow TPP member countries," said Freshfields' head of corporate practice and Singapore partner, Stephen Revell.
