SPAIN

According to Transactional Track Record's Monthly M&A Report, in the first four months of 2018, both the number of registered transactions and the moved capital in Spain's M&A market decreased, compared with the same period of 2017. The report also confirms some tendencies rooted in the Spanish market, such as the prevalence of real estate as the market with the most transactions and the high degree of interaction with the US, the foreign country that invests the most in Spain and one of the main destinations for Spanish investment. As always, the report also includes a breakdown of the data of the Private Equity and Venture Capital segments, and the TTR interview: in this occasion, to Colliers International Spain CEO Mikel Echavarren, who analyzes some key aspects of Spain's real estate market.

PORTUGAL

According to Transactional Track Record's Monthly M&A Report, the Portuguese mergers and acquisitions market suffered a reversal in the upward tendency registered in the first months of 2018, both in the number of transactions and in their value. On the pages allocated to the cross-border sphere, the analyses correlating the foreign countries that invest in Portugal and the sub-sectors targeted by these investments reflect that the number of those transactions involving Internet and Technology companies show a significant increase, compared with the same period of the previous year. Based on sector terms, the report shows the evolution in percentages, both of the number and value, of mergers and acquisitions involving the real estate sector, the most active of the last three years.
