The State of M&A Amid Today's Economic Uncertainty
Wednesday, March 29 at 11:00 AM EST
M&A thought leaders and market experts have characterized the state of M&A amid today's economic uncertainty as a mix of opportunities and challenges. There was record-breaking activity in 2021, but as 2022 ended, activity slowed down. While the pandemic and market volatility have caused some disruption to M&A activity, the expectation of stabilizing interest rates and demand for digital technology could drive a deal spike in certain sectors.
