The pace of chemical industry M&A activity is slowing in 2016 despite the pending mega deals, particularly in agricultural chemicals and fertilizers, says one investment banker. Some S31 billion of deals greater than $25 million in value closed through the first three quarters of 2016, roughly on a par with the same year-ago period, says Peter Young, president of Young and Partners (Y&P; New York, New York). A total of 61 deals were completed through three quarters, below last year's total of 70 deals.
