In April, the Latin American M&A market's activity decreased, slightly, compared with the previous month. The number of deals registered dropped in almost every country; Colombia was the exception with a 40% increase compared with the same period last year. In México, the number of deals recorded was similar to the same period in 2013, with 14 transactions. Yet, in April several significant deals materialized. Highlights include the acquisition made by Colombia-based Grupo Energía de Bogotá (EEB) of a 31,92% stake in Colombia-based Transportadora de Gas Internacional (TGI), held by US-based private equity firm Citi Venture Capital (CVCI). The deal value was USD 880m.
Regarding the activity in countries, once again Brazil was the most dynamic with 43 deals registered, both announced and closed, followed by Colombia and Mexico, with 14 deals each.
In the cross-border sector, European and US-based acquirers continue to be the most acquisitive in Latin America, while Asian companies are also showing their interest in the region. On one hand Latin American companies carried out five acquisitions in Europe and two in the United States, and on the other European acquirers made 28 acquisitions in Latin America, US-based companies made 22, and Asian made 9.
This month, 12 deals were registered in the private equity sector compared with 17 in the same period last year. Nevertheless, the venture capital segment remains dynamic, with 9 investments, which represents a 28% increase compared with the same period last year.
In April, the equity capital markets' activity decreased compared with the same period in 2013. Nonetheless, several significant deals were recorded, such as the capital increase carried out by Chile-based AES Gener, for USD 150m.
