UBS: Expects M&A deal volume in Greater China to rebound by over 15% year-on-year next year, ending a three-year decline

UBS expects that the M&A transaction volume in the Greater China region will rebound by more than 15% year-on-year next year, ending a three-year decline, reaching a level of USD 381 billion. The main driving factors include privatization, overseas mergers and acquisitions, and foreign companies selling their mainland businesses. The transaction volume is expected to be USD 325 billion this year, a year-on-year decrease of about 15%. Future focus will be on mergers and acquisitions related to the automotive and AI industries, as well as the transformation of old industries. Lu Suicheng stated that there is no hostile takeover atmosphere in Hong Kong, and foreign capital increases may be a precursor to pre-transaction buying
