Brazil and Mexico: Latin America’s Key Players in M&A Dealmaking
New York, US (PRWEB) November 20, 2013 -- Mergermarket, in association with Merrill DataSite, announces the findings of the Dealmaking in Brazil and Mexico report. The survey reveals Brazil is likely to rebound quickly based on growing interest from abroad.
Respondents are overwhelmingly optimistic that dealmaking activity will increase in Mexico over the next 12 months, aided by, structural reforms to the energy, and telecommunications sectors. In Brazil, the construction sector and the Southeast region are expected to be very active. There will be a high demand for major infrastructure and transportation projects to support the forthcoming tourism influx brought on by the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games.
Some key findings from the report include:
The Northern region of Mexico was home to one of this year’s headline Mexican deals; US-based Constellation Brands announced the purchase of Compania Cervecera de Coahuila for US$2.9bn
Private equity funds look to increase dealmaking in Brazil, according to nearly three-quarters of respondents who claim financial buyers have been more aggressive inbound and domestically
Private equity interest from abroad is expected to be strong with over half of respondents agreeing that foreign financial buyers will be most active in Mexico over the next 12 months
