The Deal Maker’s Briefing
Evolving Deal Flow in Asia Pacific
While global M&A rebounded in Q1 2026, Asia Pacific diverged, with deal value declining 31% year-on-year to US$143.4 billion—its slowest start in two years. Yet beneath the headline figures, the region remains strategically important, with landmark transactions and sustained cross-border activity continuing to shape the outlook.
Beyond M&A, momentum in equity capital markets has carried into Q2, supported by a robust pipeline and strong early-year activity. Chinese issuers raised US$37.8 billion in global equity capital markets in Q1—up 43% year-on-year and representing the highest share of global ECM in three years.
As global capital flows evolve, attention is shifting from where deals are happening to how they are unfolding—and what that signals for the pipeline ahead.
