Increasing appetite for cross-border deals, as businesses seek growth outside home markets - Zawya

More than three-quarters (78%) of respondents to Clifford Chance 's Cross-border M&A: Perspectives on a changing world survey of large global companies are looking for growth outside of their established domestic markets. The research study into current trends in cross-border M&A found that over half of companies surveyed (56%) are focusing their M&A strategy on the high growth economies.

The research, which was conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit on behalf of Clifford Chance , surveyed nearly 400 companies each with revenues of more than US$1 billion, including 80 chief executives and 185 other C-level executives from a wide range of industries and regions. Respondents were asked to rank their top strategic drivers and perceived risks and barriers to cross-border M&A activity.
