We have published our latest annual global M&A report titled ‘Global M&A Outlook for 2024: Ready for take-off?’.
There are good reasons to believe 2024 will be a stronger year for M&A, but no-one is going to call a sudden change in conditions, or underestimate execution challenges.
Our 2023 M&A report, ‘Headwinds, Tailwinds, and Fog’, highlighted potential challenges we saw in the M&A market this time last year. In the end, the greater clarity needed on economic forecasts, the peaking of interest rates and the easing of lending conditions did not emerge in time to save the year.
Now, as we look ahead to 2024, there is cautious optimism that we may see a resurgence in M&A. In our latest report, we look at why the upcoming year could be a busy one across global M&A and explore:
- how geopolitics are shaping the transactional landscape;
- how deals will be sold;
- what is driving and influencing public M&A;
- the need to plan for regulatory issues; and
- key drivers for M&A activity such as private equity, energy transition and ESG.
To provide more depth to our insights, we will be releasing regional perspectives from our offices around the world in February, followed by sector-specific insights in March.
