Overview

This report gives an overview of the key issues involved in the conduct of M&A in a number of jurisdictions in the Asia Pacific region and offers guidance on regulatory constraints governing such transactions.

Following the 2008-09 global financial crisis, the world’s economy is expected to recover in the course of 2010 with the Asia Pacific region - led by China and India - widely expected to rebound the quickest.

With the further relaxation of regulatory constraints on foreign direct investment across the region over the last few years, multinationals are increasingly looking to Asia-Pacific for growth opportunities.

This guide covers M&A activity across the entire Asia-Pacific region, incorporating Australia, The Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, China, India, South Korea, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

The paper focuses on antitrust regulation, foreign ownership restrictions, corporate governance, merger control and tax-related issues.
