Finland overtakes Sweden
Article Abstract:
The number of completed buyout transactions fell in 1995 in the two major Nordic markets of Sweden and Finland, although all buyout markets in Scandinavia improved in 1996. Sweden is the leading country by value because it has larger buyouts, although Finland has the most buyout deals. There were two large buyouts in Denmark in 1996, with divestment from domestic parents accounting for about 70% of deals in both Norway and Denmark. The number of exits increased during 1995-96, with stock market flotations taking place for three Swedish buyouts, one Finnish and two Danish.
