Canada is in the midst of an M&A boom, with growth in transaction value significantly outpacing robust growth in the United States and worldwide. During 2005, the dollar value of announced Canadian deals increased by nearly 85 per cent over 2004 levels, compared to growth of 33 per cent in the United States and 38 per cent worldwide. In the first half of 2006, the growth of Canadian M&A activity was even more dramatic: 784 deals with an aggregate value of US$93.5 billion—nearly triple the value of announced deals for the same period in 2005, compared to US growth of 23 per cent and worldwide growth of 44 per cent. (These statistics are based on the value of announced transactions and other data compiled by Thomson Financial.)
