Benjamin
Yeo, Chair of the Moore Australia
National Corporate Finance Committee stated:
"Australia's strong economic recovery relative to the
rest of the world has fuelled dealmaker confidence early in the
year. Despite the instability and uncertainty globally, as well as
the rising interest rates, investor confidence has remained steady.
Increased opportunity with Trans-Tasman transactions is likely to
continue with restrictions being lifted.
The entire APAC region has experienced an impressive increase
in deal activity from FY21 by 56%, and 12% on the average deal
value to $47.1M. The outlook is strong with continued confidence in
the market, and a number of countries performing particularly
well."
