Deal Drivers: EMEA Q1 2021

In partnership with Mergermarket

After a volatile 2020, with a decline in M&A deals following the first wave of COVID-19 lockdowns, and then a strong rebound as dealmakers adapted, EMEA delivered a solid set of deal figures for the first three months of 2021.

Deal Drivers takes a close look at M&A in Q1 2021 in EMEA, and reveals that deal value increased 40% from €193.1bn in Q1 2020 to €269.8bn in Q1 2021. And deal volume grew by 14% from 1,918 deals in Q1 2020 to 2,196 transactions in Q1 2021. What sectors and regions drove this activity? And will it last?

Deal Drivers: APAC FY 2022

APAC M&A declined in 2022, mirroring the post-boom comedown and relative dearth of megadeals witnessed across the globe. The reopening of the Chinese economy is being hotly anticipated as a much-needed spur to growth and will surely deliver more deal activity. APAC is an impressively dynamic regional economy and the relative strength of deal activity through the weaker H2 2022 holds promise for 2023.
