[SINGAPORE] The appetite of the world's largest companies for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is expected to remain strong in the next six months - though, this is still not translating into deal completions.

Such was the forecast made by KPMG's M&A Predictor - a forward-looking tool that helps member-firm clients forecast worldwide trends in M&A.
