Mergers & Acquisitions or M&A deals are a strong signal of economic activity. And this year there has been growth, but it is moderate. Perhaps this reflects the overall feel of business? The latest Boston Consulting Group (BCG) M&A Sentiment Index is out, and you can read it in full following the link below. According to BCG, the sentiment is low, but stable.   As BCG informs, the global value of M&A activity in the first half of 2024 was $1.0 trillion. Although this figure is 4% higher than that of the same period last year, it is below the ten-year average of $1.5 trillion.   But Europe is looking strongly. According to BCG, the value of European M&A deals totaled USD 255 billion, a 23% increase compared with the first six months of last year. Deal value in the UK increased by 185%, deal value also increased strongly in Sweden (138%), Spain (19%), and the Czech Republic (196%). In France (–25%) and Germany (–32%), aggregate deal value was lower than last year, according to BCG.   BCG notes, that the main push for M&A growth is the focus on digitization whereby companies seek to acquire new capabilities, often in artificial intelligence (AI). The same is true for energy where companies look for new assets to bolster their renewables and sustainability portfolios. But there are, of course, headwinds, like high cost of capital and various macro-economic challenges, that are unevenly spread around the global markets.   Read the BCG Report here and it may be useful not just to ascertain the overall economic trend, but maybe inform your own M&A plans:   https://lnkd.in/grZppvd7   #strategy #m&a #mergersandacquisitions #capital #transactions #corporatefinance #valuation #finance
