Slowdown? What slowdown? In the first half of 2015, a total of 281 outbound merger and acquisition (M&A) deals were recorded, according to Appleby’s latest analysis. The figure was almost as many as there were in all of 2013. As of 10 May this year, Chinese outbound M&A deals totalled US$111 billion, surpassing the full total for 2015 of US$108 billion, according to Swiss-based investment bank UBS, citing figures from Dealogic.
