M&A seen slowing ahead of US elections after uneven third quarter

Quick Summary:

NEW YORK/LONDON : Dealmakers are bracing for a slowdown in global mergers and acquisitions in the fourth quarter as companies postpone pursuing big targets ahead of the U.S.elections, hoping this will only be a temporary setback before a rebound next year.

Deals announced worldwide in 2024 totaled $846.

Global private equity-led buyouts during the quarter jumped 42 per cent to $166.2 billion, buoyed by an improved financing market.
