Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity was impacted negatively in the second half of 2022 as a result of several factors, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, inflation, interest rate rises and political uncertainty, reports professional services firm Herbert Smith Freehills (HSF). The firm notes in its report titled ‘Global Merger and Acquisitions Outlook 2023, Headwinds, Tailwinds and Fog’ that these factors served to slow the “restless” M&A activity, which was strong in the beginning of 2022 and which had been a trend from the middle of 2020 onwards.
