A&M Global Transaction Advisory Group Managing Director and Asia Practice Co-Leader, Xuong Liu, was recently featured in the Bloomberg article “Alvarez & Marsal Prepped for Asia M&A Rebound in 2024,” where he discusses the outlook for M&A in Asia.
Buyouts slowed down last year due to rising interest rates and geopolitical uncertainties, causing deal values in the Asia Pacific to drop by about 27% this year to roughly $793 billion, as Bloomberg-compiled data show. Xuong Liu predicts a rebound in M&A next year, stating, "Buyout firms will face increasing pressure to make investments, otherwise, they may have to return capital to their investors. That should be a key driver for M&A next year."
Despite lower valuations, weak public markets are fostering a willingness among company owners to sell, and potential buyers are interested if they can bridge valuation gaps. As the article notes, A&M's Global Transaction Advisory Group is prepared for the pickup in this region, following their extensive growth in 2023 with the appointment of Managing Director and Asia Practice Co-Leader, Stella Yuan, and the addition of seven new managing directors and 33 professionals based in China.
