Leading countries for M&A deal growth worldwide 2018
One thing to consider is that each country may differ greatly in the number of deals conducted, which in turn can effect the annual change. for example, Nigeria saw an increase in M&A activity of 38 percent although the number of deals was actually relatively small (2017=37; 2018=47). India on the other hand saw an increase of 13 percent, which in terms of numbers was an increase of nearly 280 deals.
