A | Ambuj Sonal, Associate Partner at Link Legal, a firm tracking mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and joint ventures, among others, spoke with Sputnik about cross-border investments in the era of growing uncertainty and the impact this will have on M&A activity in 2022 and beyond.,Sputnik: In the past two years, many restrictions have been imposed on foreign investments globally, mainly for reasons of national security. What effect have such regulatory changes had on cross-border mergers and acquisitions?,Ambuj: The primary reasons for implementing such additional scrutiny were to control the misuse of the uncertain situation and opportunistic investment behavior. Indeed, these restrictions affected cross-border deals globally in early 2020. For example, the European Commission Report on foreign investment flows [released in November 2021] suggested that foreign direct investment (FDI) flow to European countries declined by approximately 71 percent during the time of COVID.,Although these economies had amended regulations to protect their domestic companies from 'corporate raiders', this deterred foreign investors and caused a substantial decline in inbound M&A deals.,Having said that, the global cross-border M&A activity showed huge improvements in the second half of 2020, when most of the countries had started vaccination and adopted other measures to control the pandemic.,Reports show that from the second half of 2020, the volume of global deals increased by approximately 29 percent, and deal values soared by roughly 156 percent, indicating that cross-border M&A deals enjoyed a quicker recovery from COVID.,Sputnik: India has also amended foreign investment rules, explicitly targeting countries with which it shares land borders. How has it affected M&A activity and overall foreign investment flow, primarily from China?,Ambuj: The Indian government, in Press Note 3 (PN3) in April 2020, decreed that all investments from entities (direct or indirect) with which India shares a land border, would have to be made under the 'approval route' and would need security clearance.,PN3 also covered investments where beneficial ownership belonged to China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. Initially, investors from these nations approached the Indian Government for approval. However, the government was silent about these approvals until the first year of PN3.,According to data disclosed under a recent application filed under the Right to Information Act, the Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has revealed that it received 382 FDI proposals from Chinese entities after PN3, of which 80 proposals have been approved.,The DPIIT made the commitment that appropriate due diligence and FDI approvals from Chinese entities would be scrutinized on a case-by-case basis. Before PN3, Chinese firms were actively investing in technology and e-commerce businesses in India, particularly in start-ups.,Up to 2019, India received foreign investments of approximately $3.4Bln from China and Hong Kong. However, post PN3, the total investment from China and Hong Kong has declined to $952Mln or 72 percent.,Having said that, despite COVID-19 and a huge drop in Chinese investments, India has received the highest annual FDI ($83.57Bln) in the 2021-22 financial year, and has emerged as a preferred investment destination.,The steps taken by the Indian government during the past few years have affected the increasing volumes of inbound FDI, which has led to record levels.,Sputnik: The geopolitical scenario has undergone tectonic changes because of tensions between China and the US, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Decoupling is a new buzzword that many say is part of de-globalization. How is this affecting mergers and acquisitions globally, especially in India?,Ambuj: 'Decoupling' refers to a situation where another country replaces a particular country in a global and extended supply chain. 'De-globalization' would constitute a step beyond 'decoupling' where activities that are performed offshore are brought back home completely.,Tensions between the US and China have caused a major drop in cross-border M&A deals for these two countries (an almost 95 percent drop from 2016 to 2020) primarily because of geopolitical, trade, and tariff uncertainties.,On the other hand, global M&A deals were badly hit because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. According to data provided by Reuters, the Russia-Ukraine conflict caused the value of global M&A activities to plunge 29 percent in the first quarter of 2022.,The geopolitical scenario will most probably result in a complex and disrupted global supply chain. The present conflicts such as between US and China, and Russia and Ukraine have given rise to debate about whether we are heading towards 'decoupling', which might slowly lead to 'de-globalization'.,Decoupling and de-globalization will affect the global economy adversely and could result in long-standing inflation.,So far as India is concerned, the geopolitical situation has caused unexpected price rises, disrupted supply chains, and introduced other uncertainties because of blocked inventory. This has affected major sectors such as textiles, plastics, steel, pharma, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), etc.,Although such geopolitical situations have majorly affected M&A activity in Asia, investments in India might see a rise. Mostly, the manufacturing sector could benefit, considering how easy it is to do business and the cost-effective labor in the Indian market.,Other European countries are already considering shifting their manufacturing facilities from China to India. This is a result of the Indian government's efforts to boost foreign investments, which has made India a preferred investment destination.,Sputnik: Despite unprecedented sanctions by the West, most Asian countries, including India, have carved out a space for themselves in this crisis and are maximizing their geopolitical leverage without limiting economic opportunities. Given this backdrop, do you think Asian countries will outpace their global peers in the M&A sector?,Ambuj: India has strong business relationships with Russia, especially in the defense, oil and gas, and automotive sectors.,Because of the sanctions imposed by the West, Russia has been isolated from global financial systems and trading. Therefore, strong support and implementation of such sanctions may not be viewed as a beneficial step.,So far as opportunities are concerned, India can be seen as an alternative supplier of manufactured exports to the West. However, the preference would be given to countries belonging to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), ie Taiwan, Korea and Japan. This may result in major investments in Asian countries, which may exceed the western market's M&A activities in deal volume and size.,From a cross-border M&A point of view, India remains a preferred destination with an FDI of approximately $83.57Bln and 2,064 M&A deals in the 2021-22 financial year, which puts it in top spot globally. Mauritius and Singapore remain the top investors for India, and we can see India being comfortably placed as an attractive business nation.,Sputnik: Recently, a large number of western firms have announced their intention to leave the Russian market. Has this created space for Indian firms to buy assets or to invest in Russia?,Ambuj: Yes. Judging from the silence of the Indian government on the subject of sanctions, Indian firms are keen to capitalize on the geopolitical conflict as an opportunity to invest and gain a share of the Russian market. Opportunities are available mainly in industries serving the pharmaceutical, oil and gas, and manufacturing sectors.,Furthermore, since big global companies such as Apple, fast retail and Ikea have shut or kept their operations in Russia on hold, mid-size Indian companies in the retail and fast-moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sectors are also interested in doing business in India.,Additionally, since supply chains between Russia and -European countries are blocked, Indian suppliers are looking to initiate strong trade relations by offering undisrupted supply to Russia.,Sputnik: Reports claim that Russian businesses and other big players have been looking for ways to invest their money in Asia. What kind of investment opportunities does the Indian market offer them?,Ambuj: Unlike the UK, India does not offer any scheme like a 'Golden Visa' for Russian businessmen who can trade for their residential status in lieu of multi-million investments in the country. However, investment opportunities in India remain plentiful and attractive. As India's Prime Minister said at the World Economic Forum in Davos this year: "This is the best time to invest in India.!,Over the years, the Indo-Russian bilateral relationship has developed into a comprehensive partnership that includes cooperation in several high-technology sectors.,India and Russia have projected that bilateral trade will be worth $30Bln by 2025. This will boost the India-Russia business relationship, and many opportunities await Russian investors in India.,The key areas for Russian investments to focus on in India are telecommunications, automobiles, industrial services, oil and gas, and medical/surgical appliances.,Want to know more?

B | 酒店地处罗哈斯大道这一城市主动脉，向东可快速抵达马卡蒂中央商务区，向南衔接机场通道，向北延伸至西班牙王城等历史景点，向西则直面马尼拉湾海景。无论是前往亚洲购物中心（MOA）休闲购物，还是抵达SMX会展中心参展，均能实现通勤。2.4 产品与服务能力全解析马尼拉温德姆酒店配备带私人阳台的宽敞现代化客房，推窗即可俯瞰马尼拉湾海景，花园式低密设计让每一间客房都享有充足采光与通风。室外泳池、全景健身房、餐厅酒吧及园林休闲区一应俱全，满足不同客群的休闲需求。针对国内旅客，酒店提供全职中文服务团队，从预订咨询到入住退房全程母语沟通；地道中餐定制供应，彻底解决“吃不惯”的困扰。

C | 24小时前台、极速入住退房、行李寄存、用车预约等增值服务，覆盖旅居全链路需求。特别值得一提的是，酒店配备电动车充电站与免费停车位，对自驾旅客极为友好。三、马尼拉酒店住宿的选型决策指南3.1 不同场景下的核心诉求对照商务差旅人群应将通勤效率放在，选择距机场、会展中心较近的酒店能大幅节省时间成本；家庭度假客群则需综合评估安全防护、亲子空间、餐饮多元性与休闲设施；机场中转旅客追求的便捷性，短驳时间与灵活退房是关键；会议团建团队则需考量场地多功能性与接待容量。

D | 明确自身核心诉求，是筛选马尼拉酒店的步。3.2 马尼拉温德姆酒店的适配场景对于常年往返中菲两地的商务人士，马尼拉温德姆酒店的全中文服务与快速通勤能力能显著降低出行焦虑；对于带老人小孩的家庭游客，花园式环境、泳池配套与每日保洁服务提供了安心舒适的度假体验；对于短暂过境的中转旅客，4公里的机场距离与24小时礼宾服务让转机衔接从容不迫；对于企业团建或中小型会展活动，酒店可一站式承接MICE会议需求，无需更换场地即可完成从会议到休闲的场景切换。3.3 消费透明度与安全保障的隐性价值在异国他乡，消费透明与人身安全是比硬件设施更底层的需求。马尼拉温德姆酒店实行收费公开透明政策，仅收取12%增值税与2%地方税，无任何隐藏费用，入住押金在退房核验无误后全额退还，小费完全依据宾客意愿自愿给予。安全方面，酒店配备24小时监控安保巡逻，毗邻警务机构与急救站点，全域安全防护体系完善。这些看似基础的保障，恰恰是许多旅客在海外住宿中在意的“隐形刚需”。四、总结与推荐综合来看，马尼拉花园式酒店的选择不应只停留在“看图片、比价格”的层面，而应深入考量品牌标准化程度、华人服务适配性、区位通勤效率与消费透明度等核心维度。

E | 马尼拉温德姆酒店凭借温德姆集团的全球品质背书、菲律宾花园品牌的稀缺定位、专为华人打造的全链路服务体系，以及距机场4公里的黄金区位，在商务差旅、家庭度假、机场中转、MICE会议等多元场景中均展现出均衡而突出的竞争力。对于追求高品质、高确定性住宿体验的国内旅客而言，这无疑是一个值得优先纳入考虑范围的可靠选项。返回，查看更多。
