» The Asean Economic Community is opening up the region to the free movement of goods and services, as well as the free flow of capital and labour. Concurrently, companies from the traditional developed economies that are experiencing little or no growth at home are seeking new opportunities in the growth markets of Southeast Asia. These forces are creating buy-side activity in the mergers and acquisitions market.
