Challenges for the future

Article Abstract:

Merger and acquisition activity in the UK has become very sophisticated over recent years. This trend is likely to continue as companies look at ways of improving shareholder value. Companies in many industries are being forced to join together as they come under strong pressure to grow value, and they will be required to seek global markets. Against this background, emerging markets, especially in the Far East, will become very significant. The merger and acquisition sector faces exciting challenges as companies seek to be more global and innovative.

What will the next 13 years bring?

Article Abstract:

Merger and acquisition activity in the UK in the period to 2010 is likely to be driven by the trend towards industrial consolidation, according to experts. Strong economic growth will fuel high levels of merger and acquisition activity, but bid activity will slow down as a recession emerges at some point before 2010. It is likely that there will be a rise in cross-border deals, especially in Europe, where companies can benefit from London's ability to raise capital.
