M&A activity is often a useful instrument in measuring economic health. The findings of our newly published annual report, produced in association with CMS, on M&A in Central and Eastern Europe make for encouraging reading.
The report looks back at deal activity in the region last year and ahead to the prospects for 2018. The key finding is that overall deal activity in the region increased by 6% last year, underpinned by economic growth that outpaced developed regions.

Foreign investment was strong with the United States accounting for the highest number of deals and China the highest value, spurred no doubt by the country’s Belt and Road strategy.
Hungary and Romania saw significant increases in deal activity while Poland was the most active market for new stock exchange listings. The largest economy in the region, Russia, naturally saw most deal activity while the Ukraine experienced a welcome boost in activity despite ongoing regional tensions.
There is already a strong pipeline of deals going into 2018, a sign of confidence that the region’s strong economic performance will continue.
