Despite the global boom in M&A activity, Central and South America have been left out of the party. Falling oil prices have weighed heavily on the economies of many countries in the region and total M&A values have fallen by an incredible 56.6 percent during the first three quarters of 2015.
Mega-Deals
According to the report, the world has witnessed a record-paced number of $1 billion-plus mega-deals so far in 2015. The 43 mega-deals through the first three quarters of 2015 have been worth a combined $1.1 trillion. This year's total number of mega-deals falls only eight deals short of 2006’s record of 51.
The three largest deals so far this year are the Royal Dutch Shell plc (ADR) (NYSE: RDS.A) (NYSE: RDS.B) $81.2 billion buyout of BG Group plc (ADR) (OTC: BRGYY), the Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHTR) $77.8 billion buyout of Time Warner Cable Inc (NYSE: TWC) and the Energy Transfer Equity LP (NYSE: ETE) $55.9 billion buyout of Williams Companies Inc (NYSE: WMB).
