Article Abstract:
Germany is the strongest economy in Europe, anf high quality companies are often involved in the mergers and acquisitions market. The partial privatization of Deutsche Telekom has helped boost the German equity market. Mergers and acquisitions have been aided by the end of the early 1990s recession which is seeing an improvement in corporate earnings. Small and medium sized companies cannot easily be acquired and some may be liquidated rather than sold.
