Thu, 26 Aug 2010 | MERGER
With bankers certain that margins have been squeezed as much as they can be, mergers and acquisitions are one of the few tools left to drive business growth.

As a result, M&A activity involving European companies has reached $719 billion, an increase of 24 per cent on last year.
Karen Olney, European strategist at UBS said that M&A was a 'good method to grind out growth in a slower-burning economy.'
Buying businesses to drive growth is also important for small to medium size businesses in the private sector, according to Stephen Ideh, a researcher at www.business-sale.com. According to Ideh, smart firms are realising that now is an opportune time to grow companies inorganically.
