Mergers and Acquisitions Escalate in 2018
Worldwide M&A has trended upward in 2018, dominated by large deals and high cross-border activity. In this white paper sponsored by CohnReznick and Bloomberg News, readers will learn why M&A activity has been relatively immune to the shifting winds of trade.
CohnReznick’s Jeremy Swan, along with other M&A visionaries offer commentary behind the reasons why 2018 is a noteworthy year for global M&A activity.
“Large companies are seeking to acquire more growth, more vertical integration, and more technology,” said Swan. “They are expanding into new industries and new geographies. That, combined with the availability of capital, creates opportunities for larger transactions.”
