The Intralinks Deal Flow Predictor shows the following growth in early-stage M&A activity in APAC compared to the same period last year:
· Southeast Asia (which includes Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore), is down 47.8%;
· North Asia (which includes mainland China, Hong Kong and South Korea) is down 8.3% due to declining levels of early-stage M&A activity in South Korea;
· India is up 64.7%;
· Japan is up 5.9%, and
· Australia is up 6.9%, its first quarter of growth after four consecutive quarters of flat or declining activity.
Looking at early-stage M&A activity by sector across APAC, the materials (which includes metals and mining) and industrials sectors are the only ones showing positive growth in early-stage M&A activity. The telecommunications, media & technology sector has a 46.2% compared to the same period last year.
According to a “post-Brexit” survey of over 1,000 global deal-makers conducted by Intralinks between July 4 and 8 2016, over 61% of APAC dealmakers feel Britain’s decision to leave the European Union (EU) will have a positive or no economic impact on the APAC region. In the four weeks since the UK’s EU Referendum on June 23 2016, early-stage M&A activity in APAC, as measured by the Intralinks Deal Flow Predictor, has increased by 1.4% compared to the same period last year, showing little or no immediate impact on the APAC region’s M&A activity.
“Southeast Asia is seeing its first decline in early-stage M&A activity after nine quarters of mostly double-digit growth,” said Philip Whitchelo, VP of strategy & product marketing at Intralinks. “The impact of China’s gradual economic slowdown may be starting to impact the previously resilient ASEAN region, as South Korea and China are also showing declines.”
