Total for all deals so far this year reaches $4.614tn, surpassing previous record of $4.610tn set in 2007 before financial crash

The value of mergers and acquisitions has hit an all-time high following the $13.9bn takeover of the US coffee company Keurig Green Mountain by Germany’s Reimann family.

The total for all deals so far in 2015 reached $4.614tn (£3.066tn) on Monday, surpassing the previous record of $4.610tn in 2007 on the eve of the financial crash, according to the financial data company Dealogic. The record was set despite a reduced number of deals completed, 18,603, compared with 23,577 in 2007.
