Citigroup Inc. expects a surge in Asia Pacific dealmaking, driven by booming markets in India, Taiwan, and Japan, alongside a strong pipeline from China, according to Jan Metzger, the bank’s head of investment banking in the region. Metzger highlighted significant activity in Taiwan and India, with technology companies driving innovation. He anticipates China’s deal market to pick up, potentially sparking a long bull run within six to twelve months. Citigroup, a top player in equity capital markets in Asia Pacific, is eyeing increased headcount in key markets like Japan and India, with a focus on healthcare, technology, and consumer sectors to capitalise on the expected growth.
