Asian markets will remain bullish and make more M&A deals, including more into the UK, according to ABN AMRO.

Asian markets will remain bullish and make more M&A deals, including more into the UK, according to ABN AMRO.

The Dutch bank’s Asian head of its Fixed Income Capital Markets division, Choo Hak Lee, said that growth in Asian-led buy-outs would eventually generate a higher value than in Europe or the US.

Philip Cracknell, global head of Syndications & co-head of Capital Markets at Standard Chartered Bank plc, said he expected a continued increase in deals from Asia. He singled out India and China, pointing out that there have already been a number of larger acquisitions from the former, such as Tata Motors and Tata Chemicals acquiring assets in the UK and the US.

“I think we will continue to see increasing acquisitions emanating from Asia especially from India and China,” he added.

Lee admitted though that Asian M&A would not be able to match the absolute volume of the US or Europe, but that the total annual value may be able to in the next seven to ten years.
