February 13 - Jane's Information Group - The total value of mergers and acquisitions deals in the aerospace and defence sectors worldwide remained buoyant - albeit broadly static - during 2007: USD28.86 billion compared with USD28.69 billion for the previous 12 months.

Global M&A activity in 2007 was - once again - strongly centred on the United States. Of the USD28.86 billion invested, Jane's figures show that USD20.9 billion was invested in the US. This is compared to USD19.4 billion in 2006. Read More.
