Optimism in APAC: A Dealmaking Resurgence

In this episode of The Insight, Iain Drayton, head of Investment Banking in Asia Pacific, discusses the current state of dealmaking in Asia, highlighting a resurgence in large-scale M&A transactions, increased appetite from financial sponsors, and robust activity in industrial tech and healthcare—underscoring a growing sense of optimism across the region.

“We've seen a surge in equity activity from the start of this year, predominantly in Asia. And really for the first time in three years, it feels as though we finally have some tailwinds,” Drayton shares.
