M&A transactions in times of global high interest rates and tense geopolitical situation

In recent years, the Merger and Acquisition (M&A) business has developed incredible momentum. The number of transactions is constantly increasing and ever larger sums are being invested. 2021 and 2022 in particular are proving to be extremely interesting years for M&A transactions, as there are numerous reasons to take over other companies.

First of all, many companies have suffered as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in recent years. Many companies have suffered sales losses and had to reduce their number of employees in order to save costs. As a result, many companies are no longer as strong as they were before the crisis. Right now, it is difficult for them to grow on their own. Here, taking over another company can be a quick and effective solution to get back on track.

Another reason why M&A transactions are so relevant in 2021 and 2022 is the increasing digitalization of the economy. More and more companies must adapt to digital change and develop digital business models in order to remain competitive. However, many companies do not have the necessary skills or resources to manage this transformation. By taking over startups or other companies that already have digital skills, these gaps can be closed quickly and effectively.

Another factor that favors M&A transactions in 2021 and 2022 is low interest rates. As central banks keep interest rates at historic lows due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become more attractive for many companies to borrow capital for takeovers. There are also many private equity firms that are looking for companies in which they can invest.
