After a challenging 2023, there are signs the M&A market is entering a new phase.
Macroeconomic conditions are easing, with inflation moderating and interest rates stabilising. Corporate balance sheets are strong. And in private equity there are record levels of dry powder awaiting deployment, as well as increasing pressure for investors to generate liquidity from existing assets.
The pace of recovery remains uncertain, particularly given the political backdrop of 2024, but one thing is clear: the companies that come out on top will be those that are well-prepared and can move quickly to capitalise on opportunities.
