The Resurgent Dragon: Searching for value in troubled times

The global macroeconomic landscape has changed markedly since Deloitte China published the third edition of its Greater China outbound M&A spotlight in September 2011. However, despite it being a tumultuous time, both abroad and at home, Chinese corporate and financial investors alike have continued to invest overseas, with some 133 acquisitions, worth a total of US$52.2 billion being announced over the first nine months of 2012 – a record-breaking amount in terms of investments by value.

In order to illuminate these market developments and more, Deloitte's Chinese Services Group has written and published The Resurgent Dragon: Searching for value in troubled times, which brings you a historical review of Chinese outbound M&A activity over recent years, as well as a forward-looking assessment of what is likely to occur to overseas Chinese investments over the foreseeable future.
