Singapore was one of the first countries outside of China to encounter the virus. Whilst deal activity was down on the prior year, M&A transactions were still happening with sectors such as e-commerce and renewable energy appearing attractive. The impact on M&A activity for the second quarter of 2020 isn't clear at present but restricted mobility will certainly impact transactions, with site visits being all but impossible.
