Joining us on the program is one of the country’s leading securities lawyers in mergers and acquisitions, Walied Soliman. He highlights the global economy and capital markets. Canada remains one of the top destinations for global investors, so is Canada a capital flight or a capital flow jurisdiction? Walied discusses trends shaping Canada’s capital markets and where investors can potentially find opportunities. Looking at the current state of M&A activities, Walied explains that while there might be a noticeable ebb in formally announced mergers and acquisitions, this doesn’t necessarily imply reduced engagement. The most adept managers and boards, he says, continue to actively explore strategic possibilities. He also touches on potential opportunities beyond India and emerging economies that should be considered.
