Over 4 billion euros of mergers and acquisitions have been shortlisted for this year's Telecom Infrastructure Deal of the Year Award at TMT M&A Awards 2017 reflecting the continuing rise of deals – especially leveraged buyouts, consolidation and spin-offs - in broadband fibre and mobile towers across the EMEA region, announced news and deal data specialist, TMT Finance.

Investment bank advisers featured on the shortlist are HSBC, Citi, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and UBS.

"The mobile and fixed communications infrastructure sector is changing rapidly across Europe and globally and mergers and acquisitions will play a major role in growth and development of the leading operators," said Ben Nice, Managing Editor of TMT Finance. "Valuation multiples of telecom towercos and fibre operators are at record highs and the current wave of deal activity has reached new levels, as larger players seek to build scale through consolidation, while private equity firms and institutional investors target a range of new LBO deals. The next phase of growth will see several major European and African towerco IPOs and M&A, while deal flow in towers also continues to accelerate in South and Southeast Asia," said Nice.
