Buyout value also saw a decline of 90% between May and August, according to the latest report from corporate finance house, Oghma Partners. Analysing 22 deals within this period, Oghma Partners recorded an overall estimated deal value of £270 million in comparison to £3.9 billion during the same time in 2021.
