Globally, financial services are undergoing unprecedented change. At the same time, the eastward shift of economic power gives Asian financial services markets stronger growth potential than that of any other region. As a result M&A is becoming an ever more important strategic tool for financial institutions in Asia.
Report key findings:
- Economic and demographic factors will drive strong growth in Asian financial services
- Domestic M&A looks set to remain the key driver of Asian financial services transactions
- Cross-border M&A in Asian financial services is expected to accelerate. Bidders from more mature markets such as Australia, Japan, Korea and Singapore are being joined by European and American rivals.
- Capital restrictions are seen as the leading obstacle to M&A in the region, while talent management is seen as by far the greatest challenge for post-deal integration
- Despite regulatory and governmental activity, Asian financial services M&A is predicted to grow through 2011 and into 2012
