CMS has launched Emerging Europe M&A 2015/2016 Report

24/02/2016

Report highlights:

  • CEE was relatively flat with a 3% decline in announced deals, but a sharper 15% decline in total value, while the 2015 global M&A market saw more deals with more value than any year since 2007.
  • Investors no longer regard Central and Eastern Europe as a coherent investment area as countries in the region present increasingly different risk profiles.
  • Private equity fund investment went up 16%. The largest transactions predominantly attracted US and UK investors.
  • Manufacturing was the most targeted sector, followed by Telecoms & IT and Real Estate.
  • Poland, Hungary, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina saw an increase in deals – both in value and volume – from 2014.

We have received excellent feedback from our clients and the market about this report over the last five years and hope that you will find this year’s edition equally useful.
