Looking at our Members’ reports from their geographies one can discern some divergence in local M&A market developments, e.g. while the Danish market has retained its momentum, we see that in France the market saw a drop by almost 30% in M&A value for the first six months of 2023 year-on-year. This is due to a notable moderation in the large deal segment and in the private equity and venture capital activity. Although dry-powder remains on record levels, private equity players are more selective in terms of larger transactions. Corporates are expected to remain active across the deal size spectrum.
