Global M&A at seven-year high as big corporate deals return: Reuters
Investor support for large acquisitions and a desire to trump rivals in consolidating markets have led chief executives to strike big transactions so far in 2014, raising year-to-date global deal volumes to their highest level in seven years, Reuters reported. Year-to-date global deal volume as of June 26 surged to US$1.75 trillion, up 75 percent from the year-ago period, according to Thomson Reuters data. That was the highest level since 2007, when deal volume reached US$2.28 trillion.
