M&A market in turbulent times — property-based financing as a solid building block
The market situation remains volatile, including in the M&A sector. This entails many risks, but also offers opportunities. Studies show that strategy, precise examination of assets and transaction financing are currently all the more important. Object-based models offer solutions for the latter.
Even if 2024 is unlikely to be a rosy time for companies, the German economy is slowly emerging from the trough. Economists at the Munich-based ifo Institute1 are forecasting a 1.5 percent increase in gross domestic product in 2023 following the recession. The high inflation rate of previously 5.8 percent is also expected to fall to 2.1 percent in 2024. The recovery is therefore only taking place gradually and challenges and geopolitical uncertainties represent a permanently simmering risk. Nevertheless, the development is a positive signal for the corporate transaction market. In any case, many players in the M&A sector have proven to be resilient despite the recession and multiple crises in recent months.
Deals continued to play an important role despite the volatile times — especially for strategic investors. Of course, the influence of the current crises could not be denied.
