The UK’s M&A outlook is uncertain as the COVID-19 pandemic tightens its grip on the world economy and companies and advisers alike struggle to assess the impact of the global equity and bond sell-off.
Last week, European indices saw gains not seen since the 2008 financial crisis following sweeping fiscal action by central banks. However, a lack of flexibility in the UK government’s support for the economy may mean that larger deals are few and far between.
Join Lucinda Guthrie, Executive Editor, Transactions Division at Acuris, and Jonathan Klonowski, Research Editor EMEA, at Mergermarket for a live webinar discussing:
- Review of Q1 UK M&A data
- How COVID-19 is impacting ongoing M&A processes
- The impact of COVID-19 on cross-border dealmaking
- How private equity firms are reacting to the current crisis
- The outlook for 2020 for UK deal activity
