Emerging Europe M&A Report
Q1 2020

The start of 2020 was marked by significantly lower M&A activity compared to the same time last year due to fears for the economy and the poor outlook for many businesses amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Deals were down by 15% y/y to 444, while their total value slumped by 41% to EUR 10.2bn.
