MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS 
FEATURE STORY Merger and acquisition activity is heating up in Asia, both by investment pursuing growth in developing economies and by investment originating in Asia.

These purchases not only include buying entire companies, but can also involve the purchase of parts of companies such as assets and distribution channels.

Along with risk, the sale can also offer opportunities for both the buyer and seller.
FEATURE STORY China, India, South Korea and Vietnam show higher economic growth rates than developed countries with investment capital bursting into these markets. What challenges does this raise though?
