“It’s safe to say the deal making environment has changed dramatically over the last three to six months, as world conflict, volatile stock markets and economic indicators have clearly caused boardrooms to evaluate the new landscape. Despite the headlines, the fundamental drivers of deal making are still the same, with strong corporate balance sheets, historically low interest rates and the continual search for growth and expansion.  While pitching the strategic rationale for a transaction to shareholders and regulators may be more challenging, we continue to see strength in certain areas of the market, particularly in technology, private equity buyouts and mega deals. And while deal volumes have declined across nearly every major category, the first quarter of 2022 marks the seventh consecutive quarter to surpass US$1 trillion in announced deal value, a first since our records began in 1980,” comments, Matt Toole, Director, Deals Intelligence, Refinitiv
