Increased scrutiny from antitrust watchdogs is partly to blame, analysts say. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The number of mid-sized M&A transactions increased 27% y-o-y<\/strong>, with 12 transactions ranging from USD 5 bn to USD 10 bn taking place so far this year, up from 10 in the same period last year, according to the
