Rani Jarkas: China’s outbound M&As surge in both volume and value

Rani Jarkas: In the first half of 2016, the volume of cross-border mergers and acquisitions led by Chinese buyers reached $149.2 billion, exceeding the total volume in 2015. The amount accounted for 23 percent of the total volume of global cross-border M&A, up from 6 percent in the same period last year, according to Tian Guoli, chairman of Bank of China on at the Bank of China – Bloomberg Global M&A Summit.

Smooth financing channels in capital markets and fast-growing financial investors are the main reasons for the significant increase in 2016.

Mature markets such as Europe and North America continued to be the main destinations for Chinese buyers of sophisticated technology, advanced management experience and well-known brands. Asia was also popular among investors because of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Also, for the first time, privately-owned enterprises surpassed state-owned enterprises in transaction value, accounting for half of the total over the first three quarters of 2016.

Rani Jarkas, Chairman of Cedrus Investments, a boutique investment firm with years of experience in Greater China region, said “The expansion from trade finance to acquisition finance will provide a strategic opportunity for development of the Chinese financial sector. It has accelerated the transformation of China’s financial industry.”

Rani Jarkas: Yuan’s Internationalization, Betterment of Global Monetary System

Rani Jarkas On November 30, China reached a new milestone in its ongoing internationalization efforts when it was announced by the IMF that the RMB was approved to join Special Drawing Rights basket. The inclusion of the Chinese currency will not only help China‘s financial reforms but the evolution of the international financial system, according to Zhang Tao, the new Deputy Managing Director of the IMF.

Rani Jarkas, Chairman of Cedrus Investments, an investment pioneer with years of financial experience in Asia, said, “As expected with our recent forecast, this is the start of major internationalization of the RMB.  Yuan will compete strongly with all other currencies to eventually become a major currency and contribute greatly to the global monetary system.”

Data from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications show the yuan is the second-largest trade financing currency, and the fourth- or fifth-largest trade payment currency. And the yuan‘s proportion in global trade is 8%, and in global trade payment nearly 2%.

Statistics from the Bank for International Settlements show the yuan‘s share in global foreign exchange trade has doubled in three years, from 2% to 4%. And its share as a global reserve currency is slightly more than 1%.
