Deal Drivers Africa; Spotlight on M&A trends in H2 2020 and beyond
Virtual Briefing in Partnership with Mergermarket
DATE: Thursday 12 November
TIME: 14:00 SAST
South Africa is experiencing a period of prolonged political and economic uncertainty, and a decline in merger and acquisition (M&A) activity was anticipated in early 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic didn’t improve the situation. However, the country is committed to improving the local investment environment, and the predictions for 2021 and 2022 for increased M&A activity in South Africa remain positive, based on investors' sentiment.

Panelists discussed:
