Summary
2023 was a challenging year for dealmakers. From elevated interest rates to tighter regulations to geopolitical conflict, M&A activity continued to decline from the highs seen in 2021.
Potential stability in rates, pent-up demand, and pushes to consolidate or divest in certain industries may drive an uptick in future M&A activity. Will this be enough to drive a rebound in 2024, or will we see more of the same? Join us as we dive into:
- Hurdles that impacted 2023’s M&A activity, and which ones will persist in 2024
- The future of exits after longer-than-expected holding periods
- How the rapid growth in private credit could help jolt M&A activity
- Tech and Energy sectors providing the greatest area of opportunity for dealmakers
This event is hosted by the Association of Corporate Growth
