Deloitte: the corporate acquisition market has fallen in the region, and stagnated in Hungary last year

In contrast to global developments, the number of acquisitions in Eastern and Central Europe declined in 2018, so the stagnation in the Hungarian market is a positive result in a regional comparison – the Deloitte market research and acquisition (M & A) market study revealed.

According to the announcement sent to MTI, the global M&A market has been growing steadily for three years in terms of number of transactions, and increased by 12 percent in 2018 after two years of stagnation. Despite this, the Central and Eastern European region’s M&A market has been declining for the second year, with 347 acquisitions last year, down 7 percent compared to 2017. (MTI)
