Global M&A Outlook Series - EMEA
M&A Insights for EMEA
EMEA's M&A landscape, battered by a challenging 2023, shows tentative signs of recovery in 2024. Despite lingering macroeconomic concerns and elevated interest rates, dealmakers are expressing cautious optimism that the coming months could bring renewed momentum. EMEA has experienced a surge in deal activity compared to last year. Going forward, private equity firms, armed with substantial dry powder, as well as financial hubs like the UK, fuelled by attractive valuations, are expected to play significant roles in revitalising M&A.
This webinar, organised by the Financial Times in partnership with Datasite, convened dealmakers to explore M&A activity and trends in the EMEA region. The focus of the webinar was on the opportunities and challenges that will be faced by dealmakers in 2025.
