July this year, global enthusiasm, the month reached a total of 224.6 billion U.S. dollars acquisition, while the Bloomberg statistics reveal that in August the total amount of global mergers and acquisitions may reach 285 billion U.S. dollars, and this data can be refreshed, Because there are still a number of mergers and acquisitions are in the pipeline, including BHP Billiton intends to acquire Potash fertilizer companies, and Korea National Oil to spend 2.9 billion hostile bid for Dana Petroleum UK, is likely to be rewritten in August acquired generous tide.

Shafir not think this will become a trend, still holds the same view of Barclays Capital global head of mergers and acquisitions Parker.
