Our quarterly analysis of the latest themes and trends in the global M&A market shows that during the first quarter of 2019, deal values and volumes declined across most regions and sectors, with megadeals also down. In volume terms, cross-border deals had their slowest start to the year since 2009.
In this edition, we examine some of the forces behind these market trends. Topics covered in this edition include: • Global M&A Q1 snapshot 2019 • Global trends in private M&A • Investors face rapid proliferation of national interest tests • Antitrust authorities maintain the pressure on dealmakers • Digitalisation and innovation provide new fuel for M&A deals
