Deloitte survey: Romania, the most interesting market in the area for mergers and acquisitions

Romania is, at present, the most interesting markets in the area in terms of acquisitions and mergers and the situation will not change very soon in the upcoming years, according to a survey conducted by Deloitte called ‘'Staying on course - M&A in Europe'.

Romania not only that it was not harmed by the recent global financial crisis, but it has even accelerated activity in some sectors over the past months. Obviously, there's a certain prudence in the real estate sector, but not all the sectors enjoy the same intense trading activity. The most important M&A (mergers and acquisitions) deals occur in the field of energy and resources, TMT (telecommunications, media, technology) and the sector of financial services, said Antonis Ioannides, partner M&A Transaction Services in Deloitte Romania. Countries of Central and Western Europe hold top positions among preferences in the field of mergers and acquisitions, 75 percent and 58 percent respectively. Examining the M&A plans for the next 18 months in Europe, the conclusion is that companies and investors of private equity alike want to expand. Mergers and acquisitions are an instrument which ensure the success of the companies on global markets in the long run. Therefore, the M&A activity is boosted by strategic transactions which are aimed at increasing competitiveness of the company on the market. The survey was conducted due to M&A experts recommended by Deloitte Partners of Belgium, Central Europe, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands, in the spring of 2008. As many as 120 CEOs of companies of private equity have been contacted. Half of them filled in the questionnaires on the M&Av plans, objectives and success factors. Comparing results with the same survey conducted one year ago, it is obvious the transactions are getting ever more important among European businessmen. Sursa: http://www.rompress.ro
