The largest deal in the region was the acquisition of Carso Global Telecom, the Mexican telecom group, by its domestic peer, America Movil, for US$28bn H1 21 also saw an increase in Latin America s market share of global M&A. The region saw 9.6% of global M&A deal value in H1 21, compared to just 3.8% for the full year 2. This was largely influenced by Carso Global/America Movil deal. However, excluding this deal from the H1 21 data would still see Latin America s market share reach 6.6% of global deal value, the largest market share on mergermarket record Cross Border activity reached record high in H1 21 Inbound M&A activity in Latin America reached US$29.4bn in H1 21, the strongest half year period on record. The total value represents a 5x increase from H1 2 figures European investments dominated both deal value and volume. The most active European investor in Latin America was the Netherlands, contributing 26% to inbound total value, followed by the UK with 13% of total number of deals Outbound activity reached US$1.2bn in H1 21, the highest H1 period on record and the second highest half year period after H2 2 Foreign targets for H1 21 were predominantly located in the US and Portugal, making up 63% and 45% of total value and volume respectively. Diverse sector performances across M&A activity in Latin America The Telecoms industry was the most active sector in H1 21, with a 41% share of total value Foreign investors buying into the region were mainly interested in the Consumer sector, which stood at 32% of total value in H1 21, followed closely by Energy, Mining & Utilities at 31%. The latter had a 51% share of total value in H1 2 Latin American acquirers looking abroad moved their focus from the Consumer sector in H1 2 (which then made up 72% of total value), to Construction; Energy, Mining & Utilities; and Industrials & Chemicals in H1 21, each representing 31%, 25%, and 24% of total value respectively Brazil follows the region s trend; strongest H1 for Inbound M&A activity since 2 Brazilian M&A in H1 21 stood at US$3.9bn, a 44% increase in total deal value from the same period last year Inbound activity of foreign firms buying Brazilian based firms in H1 21 was the strongest since H1 2, with a total value of US$11.4bn The value of Brazilian acquisitions abroad was US$ 1.2bn, the second highest half year performance on record after H2 2 Credit Suisse led the Financial Advisor rankings while Dewey & LeBoeuf was the top legal advisor in the region Credit Suisse and Citigroup advised on the top four deals in the region in H1 21, sending both financial advisers to the first and second place respectively on the value table. Credit Suisse ranked first by both value and volume with a total of 18 deals worth US$ 54.8bn Dewey & LeBoef topped the legal advisor table by value, advising Credit Suisse on America Movil s acquisitions of Carso Global Telecom and Telmex Internacional. Local firms Machado Meyer Sendacz e Opice and Mattos Filho, Veiga Filho, Marrey Jr e Quiroga Advogados were the most active in the region with 11 deals each.
