To date, there have been 102
Chinese outbound mergers-and-acquisitions deals announced this year, amounting
to $81.6 billion in value, according to Dealogic. That's up from 72 deals worth
$11 billion in the same period last year.
And
they're not expected to let up anytime soon. Slow economic growth in China and
cheap prices abroad due to the stock market's recent sell-off suggest the
opposite.
"With
the slowdown of the economy, Chinese corporates are increasingly looking to
inorganic avenues to supplement their growth," Vikas Seth, head of
emerging markets in the investment-banking and capital-markets department at
Credit Suisse, told Business Insider earlier this month.
