Are we dealing with a downturn?

Article Abstract:

The fear of recession has not had a major impact on the corporate deals market in the south of England, although many firms are considering strategic changes to cope with fall out from the economic down turn expected in 1999. The number of transactions dealt with by the southern England office of Bank of Scotland rose by 5% in 1998, to 23 deals. One of the major factors in maintaining such a buoyant market appears to be the wide diversity of business in the area, which encourages a high level of optimism.
