During the last six years (2003-2008), Emerging Market entities made some 844 acquisitions or investments in Western Europe with a combined value of nearly € 120 billion (of which some 3% in Belgium).
As a result of the ‘credit crunch’ and the global economic slowdown, 2008 has been a week year for global M&A activity. Despite this, 2008 was a record year for M&A transactions conducted by Emerging Market acquirers or minority investors, with 256 completed deals with an overall value in excess of € 45 billion.
