The buying and selling market and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have undergone three years of instability. After a dismal 2023, the market has begun to recover, with many investors regrouping to forge new pathways for M&A activities. Against the backdrop of looser economic policies and banks seeking to reduce interest rates as inflation gradually decreases, we conducted our third annual survey by interviewing 300 M&A executives focused on the theme of changing transactional mindsets worldwide. In this latest research, we found that stakeholders in M&A activities are concerned about topics such as artificial intelligence (AI) and awareness of sustainable development in this field while facing political resistance. The attached report by SS&C Intralinks Inc conducted in 2024 hopes to provide valuable insights to those interested in M&A activities in the upcoming time.
