In our Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Barometer we analyze the prevailing trend in
Romanian transactions, as part of the regional context. Although the businesses under
review vary in size, background and economic growth, the market illustrates an increase in
M&A activity in terms of value when compared to 2014.
The highlights of the year are represented by an increasing amount of inbound transactions -
- with 60% of all deals and the shift from financial investors towards strategic ones. Also
noteworthy is that IT remained one of the most active target industries alongside Energy and
Mining, while in terms of value the largest transactions occurred in Banking and Financial
Services and Manufacturing segments.
