1998年对于兼并和收购市场而言,可以说是丰收的一年。一系列高金额的并购事件犹如一系列加速地快车,势不可挡。然而,时至九月,整个兼并收购却有了下降的趋势。九月全球的并购金额为964.5亿美元,这比前11个月的平均指数之2146亿美元有了近55％的滑坡。尽管964.5亿美元仍不是个小数目,但这是自1997年4月以来并购金额首次低于1000亿美元。一时间,世界诸多人士对并购快车是否已开始减速而大感疑惑。
For the merger and acquisition market in 1998, it can be said that it was a good harvest year. A series of high-volume mergers and acquisitions is like a series of accelerated express trains that are overwhelming. However, from September to September, the entire merger and acquisition has declined. In September, global mergers and acquisitions amounted to 96.45 billion U.S. dollars, which is a 55% decline from the 214.1 billion U.S. dollars in the previous 11 months. Although 96.45 billion U.S. dollars are still not a small number, this is the first time since April 1997 that the amount of mergers and acquisitions has fallen below 100 billion U.S. dollars. For a time, many people in the world wondered whether the M&A Express had begun to slow down.
