Lower macroeconomic volatility and a rise in the number of deals could bring about the long-awaited recovery on the M&A market. Between 2023 and 2024 global deal values increased by 5%, and the number of deals above USD 1bn rose by 17%. The number of megadeals soared by 17% and they also became broader: there were more than 500 deals with a value over USD 1bn in 2024,, including 72 deals that were worth more than USD 5bn – back in 2023 there were only 61 of these. //
