Russian M&A review 2017 3 Overview Although deal activity increased by 13% in 2017, the value of Russian M&A Deal was 12% lower than the previous activity 13% year, at USD66.9 billion, mainly due to an absence of larger deals. This was in particular reflected in the oil and gas sector, which in 2016 was characterised by three large deals with a combined value exceeding USD28 billion. The good news is that investors have adjusted to the realities of sanctions and lower oil prices, and sought opportunities brought by both the economic recovery and governmental efforts to create a new industrial strategy. 2017 saw a significant rise in the number and value of deals outside the Deal more traditional extractive industries value 37% and utility sectors, which have historically driven Russian M&A. Oil and gas sector is excluded If the oil and gas sector is excluded, then the value of deals rose by 37%, from USD35.5 billion in 2016 to USD48.5 billion in 2017.

References 39 Preface The introduction of new big container ships sends waves on established transport systems and illustrates the need to satisfy the demand for ports enabling efficient loading and unloading. This study is an attempt to throw light on the impact of containerization on the accessibility of ports at the Baltic Sea with attention paid to the changing conditions after the fall of the Wall. Former locked in areas have become hinterlands of ports serving the international market. EU has strengthened this integration in efforts made in Interreg-programs exemplified by the Baltic Link stretching from Trondheim in the North via Gothenburg to Adriatic ports in the South.
