Based on deal value analysis, there are fewer Big Tickets, which accounts for the reduction in the percentage of moved capital in January, compared with the same month of 2017. The report provides a complete analysis correlating the market's most active sectors, as well as the most prominent transactions of the cross-border segment, which proves technology companies have retained their appeal for foreign investors.
