BDO Horizons 2024 - Issue 3

In this edition of Horizons, we go around the world providing analysis of deal activity and trends in our BDO regions. Volumes and values are down and the heat map shows a significant decline in overall transaction appetite for the rest of 2024. There are signs of stabilisation in the market, with an important return of private equity buyers, lower inflation and a sense that interest rates may actually start falling, which should be helpful for M&A.
