We are pleased to launch the tenth edition of our flagship report, Duff & Phelps Transaction Trail 2021. This year's report covers mergers and acquisitions (M&A), private equity/venture capital (PE/VC) investments and initial public offerings (IPOs) in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia (the “Region”) for 2021.
Our 10th Annual Transaction Trail Report could not have come at a better time, with the year 2021** witnessing ultra-mega transactions in the Region across mergers and acquisitions (M&A), private equity/ venture capital (PE/VC) investments and initial public offerings (IPOs), which have exceeded the historic highs of the recent past, towering at 1,800 transactions, valued at a whopping USD $280 billion.
Key Highlights
Going forward, with the world taking tentative steps towards trying to get to a new normal of living, we are also seeing a new normal for doing transactions. While transaction activity is cyclical and we may not see historical records every year, we expect to see continued strong deal momentum in the Region, driven by availability of capital resources and allocations, dynamic political climate, regulatory changes in China channeling more transactions to the Region and a rapid increase in technology adoption.
We hope you enjoy reading our 10th Annual Transaction Trail Report and we welcome your feedback, comments and suggestions. We are also pleased to share that Duff & Phelps, A Kroll Business, will be rebranding as Kroll in the new year to deliver a more integrated suite of technology, data and expert enabled-solutions to solve clients’ risk, governance and financial needs.
