Bright spots may turn the tide in M&A space

Tan: M&A and privatisation activities are expected to be higher this year.

PETALING JAYA: There are bright spots emerging that may turn the tide in the country’s merger and acquisition (M&A) space this year after a slower hive of M&A activities last year.

Although there are stumbling blocks in the form of the ongoing US-Sino trade war, fear of global recession and weak consumer sentiment, analysts and industry watchers are still bullish on the country’s M&A activities.
