Despite the worldwide credit crisis and high volatility in the capital markets, activity in the mid-market M&A sector in Russia has increased in the first half of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Mid-market M&A deals are defined as deals between USD 30 and 300 million in terms of enterprise value. The companies operating in this market are attractive to domestic and foreign investors. They offer international investors access to Russia’s growing markets and do not require the financial resources necessary for larger deals since partial debt financing is generally not needed. Moreover, larger Russian companies and financial investors see these deals as opportunities for consolidation. Therefore, despite a generally unfavourable financial environment we expect mid-market M&As to be stable or even increase in the medium term.
