In a recent report on the M&A market, Bain & Company predicted that the total value of global M&A deals will increase by 15 percent by the end of 2024, compared to last year 2023, to reach $ 3.5 trillion, while the volume of global deals will increase by 7 percent from last year, reflecting a two-year decline.
According to the report, the Middle East has played a key role in this global growth, with strategic M&A activities in the region rising 88 percent year-on-year to reach $36 billion in the first ten months of 2024. Sovereign wealth funds and government entities in the UAE and Saudi Arabia led this strong performance, which is in line with broader global trends.
