Brexit may mean Brexit, but what does it mean for M&A?
According to data from Mergermarket, UK transaction volumes fell in the first half of 2017 by 12% on the same period last year, which has been seen by some to confirm some the economic consequences of the Brexit referendum result.
In a recent article for Financier Worldwide, Daniel Domberger, Managing Director at Arrowpoint Advisory, challenges this hypothesis. Rather than flagging, the UK remains the M&A leader in Europe with foreign interest in UK assets at an all-time high. The rest of the world, Daniel argues, has more confidence in the UK than we do in ourselves.
