Australia continues to stand out as an attractive destination for foreign investment, driven by its low sovereign risk, stable regulatory environment and currently favorable exchange rate. On average, approximately A$60 billion in transactions are completed each year, supported by a robust private treaty mergers & acquisitions market of similar scale.
Richard Phillips, Chairman of Greenhill Australia, explores how despite this national strength, transaction completion risk remains a key consideration. Most transactions are all-cash or cash-equivalent offers, and premiums have risen sharply.
With its stable economy, low sovereign risk and growing cross-border participation, Australia remains a destination for capital investment and companies looking to diversify portfolios amid global uncertainty.
