Hello Lono,

Global M&A Volume in 2005 Climbed by 38% to $2.9 Trillion

?Global merger-and-acquisition volume has increased 38% to $2.9
trillion in 2005 from a year earlier, with Procter & Gamble Co.'s
$60.8 billion acquisition of Gillette the largest deal of the year.

Announced M&A volume in the U.S. and Europe reached $1.1 trillion, the
highest levels for both regions since 2000, according to a preliminary
year-end tally from data tracker Dealogic. Asian-Pacific M&A volume
hit a record $474.3 billion, up 46% from $324.5 billion in 2004.?


?Australia ?with $47.7 billion ? was down 34% from 2004.?

Aggressive Australian market pushes M&A activity up 58% on 2004

?The value of deals involving Australian corporates for the first half
of 2005 to 6 June totalled over US$27 billion, up from US$17.3 billion
for the first six months of 2004; however, the market has cooled off
from the takeover frenzy witnessed at the end of 2004 which generated
US$53 billion in the last six months of the year.?
