The meeting aims to enhance the practicality and techniques as well as prevent the potential risks of cross-border mergers and acquisitions. The conference invited a number of experts to share their insights. Especially amidst the global economic downturn, the scope of cross-border mergers and acquisitions are expected to fall from $2.8 trillion in 2019 to $2.1 trillion in 2020.
