Action in Europe
Article Abstract:
European buyout houses kept a lower media profile than their American and UK counterparts until 1997, when an increasing number of high value transactions brought media and public attention. European buyouts are set to rise in 1998, although the market could be slowed down by the small number of firms which have the ability to deal with large deals. KPMG completed 90 European buyouts in 1996, valued at 4.2 billion pounds sterling.

Depository spice
Article Abstract:
It is forecast that US acquisitions financed by American Depository Receipts (ADR) will become increasingly popular because they offer an acceptable substitute for cash transactions. Some 33% of the ADR trading volume in 1996 was accounted for by ADRs in UK companies, against 32% in the US. The use of an ADR program can give UK companies better access to overseas capital markets.
