According to a report released by international law firm Freshfield Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, certain emerging markets of the globe showed promising – and some not-so-promising – trends in 2012. Foreign merger and acquisition investors were particularly skittish of doing business in India, says the report, though markets in China, Mexico, Russia and Brazil all apparently showed increase activity from foreign investors. While global M&A value dropped nearly 5 percent, said the report, value dropped by 42 percent in India. The report used Thomson Reuters data.
