Abstract: The article reports on the year-on-year (YOY) growth in merger and acquisition (M&A) activity in the chemical industry in 2015, focusing on the data compiled by Young & Partners (Y&P), an investment bank. It mentions that M&A activity was slower on annualized basis in terms of completed deals, with a drop in activity from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2015. Peter Young of Y&P refers to unstable economic and financial conditions as the main factors influencing the trend.
