M&A: Navigating Cross-Border Transactions in a Fragmented Market
Global M&A activity continues to be shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, divergent monetary policy and increased regulatory scrutiny. While transaction volumes have moderated in certain regions, cross-border activity remains resilient, particularly in sectors where strategic consolidation, balance sheet repair and capital reallocation are driving decision-making.
In this environment, transaction success is increasingly determined by structure rather than headline valuation. Jurisdictional considerations, regulatory approvals, financing availability and post-transaction governance frameworks now play a central role in shaping outcomes. Buyers and sellers alike are placing greater emphasis on execution certainty, capital structure flexibility and risk allocation mechanisms when assessing transactions.
As markets evolve, M&A activity is expected to remain selective and highly targeted. Transactions that align strategic objectives with robust governance and disciplined structuring are better positioned to progress in a market where complexity, rather than opportunity, is often the primary constraint.
