Saudi Arabia and the UAE were the top inbound M&A destinations in the GCC in <\/strong>1H 2024<\/strong>, accounting for 152 inbound transactions at a disclosed value of USD 9.8 bn, according to the the latest EY MENA<\/a>M&A Insights report<\/a>. The GCC giants were also leading bidders, as sovereign wealth funds including the Public Investment Fund and the UAE\u2019s Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) and Mubadala doubled down on economic diversification plans. <\/p>\n

Overall:<\/strong> The M&A count inched up 1% y-o-y at 321 transactions in the first half, while aggregate transaction value rose 12% to USD 49.2 bn, the report showed. <\/p>\n

(** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links<\/strong> to our background and outside sources.)<\/p>\n

Saudi was home to the highest number of inbound M&As<\/strong> and was also the most-frequent bidder during the period. <\/p>\n

The UAE was responsible for the largest transaction<\/strong>, with Mubadala\u2019s USD 12.4 bn<\/a>acquisition of Truist Ins.<\/a> topping the list. Mubadala and ADIA were together responsible for the second-largest M&A transaction as the pair put down USD 8.3 bn<\/a> for the Chinese mall unit of Dalian Wanda in April. <\/p>\n

Saudi and Emirati countries have appetite \u2014 for each other: <\/strong>The first half of 2024 saw 94 transactions involving UAE companies on one side and the Kingdom on the other, accounting for 61% of intra-regional dealflow. Intra-regional transactions were worth c. USD 6.4 bn during the period, up 13% compared to the first half of 2023. <\/p>\n

Inter-regional M&A activity accounted for <\/strong>166 (52%) of 321 total transactions<\/strong>.<\/strong> Inter-regional activity also accounted for the lion\u2019s share (87%) of transaction value at USD 42.8 bn, a 15% y-o-y increase.<\/p>\n

GCC-based investors preferred the US as a destination for outbound M&A<\/strong>, closing 19 transactions Stateside worth some USD 16.6 bn. Europe accounted for 80% of inbound activity by volume, but companies in the United States were responsible for 98% by total value in USD terms. <\/p>\n

MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n

The Nikkei tumbled more than 3% at the opening bell and is holding steady there <\/strong>after the Bank of Japan yesterday raised its interest rate target to 0.25%, the highest level since 2007, on the eve of the global financial crisis.<\/p>\n

Markets are otherwise mixed. <\/strong>The ASX 200 and the Kospi are in the green this morning, as is the Shanghai Composite, while the Hang Seng is down 0.3%. <\/p>\n

European equities futures are mixed this morning<\/strong>, but punts on major Wall Street benchmarks were all up slightly in overnight trading as investors welcomed the Fed\u2019s signal yesterday that it is essentially on track to start cutting interest rates in September.<\/p>\n
