According to KPMG, the M&A shows no signs of slowing down with historical pace and volumes met in 2022 in both the number of deals announced and deal values beating previous records. This is largely in part due to a very “pro acquisition” environment, with low interest rates, plenty of dry powder from investment groups, and a rebound in global economic growth during 2021. Record monetary policy and stimulus increased liquidity are also major contributing factors that will carry over into 2022.
Another key piece that KPMG speculates will continue the drive is the labor shortage. A reported one-third of survey respondents are keen on acquiring good talent to facilitate business activity with investment groups compensating well to keep and acquire good talent.
