Facts & Stats: Jan 2014

Mergermarket has released its Global M&A roundup for 2013, including its league tables for financial advisors.

Take a look at the report HERE.

A few key findings in the US include:

  • In the US the TMT sector (Technology, Media, Telecommunications) was the dominant industry by both value and count (775 deals worth US$298.1 bn), a 76.3%  increase compared to 2012
  • Cross-border deals represented over 40% of Global M&As with Europe continuing to take the majority of all cross-border deals
  • As the US economy stabilizes, local companies are increasingly looking inward for acquisition opportunities: the value of domestic deals in 2013 increased 9.1% from 2012. As a result, this was the most active year for domestic deals since 2007
