A.M. Best anticipates a decrease in M&A transactions in Europe

After a turbulent period, mergers-acquisitions (M&A) activity is expected to slow down in the coming months in Europe, says A.M. Best.

This relatively saturated market offers henceforth few growth opportunities. Difficult economic conditions and high costs associated with M&A transactions should reduce the appetite for this activity.

Just like the other regions of the world, the old continent has experienced a major wave of concentration during the years 2015 and 2016 .

This interest has weakened in 2017. The lack of political visibility that reigns in several countries accounts for this slowdown.
