As the world emerges from the pandemic, the global merger and acquisition (M&A) market has not only rebounded from its initial collapse, but has also thrived. The growth of the private equity (PE) model has created an engine for M&A, and many now regard it as a constant source of dealmaking capital that can be relied on to power deal volumes regardless of market conditions.
The value of significant M&A deals worth more than $25 million are running healthy, given the prominence of factors such as geopolitical instability, soaring inflation, supply chain issues, and regulatory changes that are increasing uncertainty.
To put the spotlight on other key developments in the industry, Financial Services Review illustrates how companies are boldly executing their M&A goals today to overcome the current market challenges. The edition also features thought-provoking articles from Victor Palau, Chief Technology Officer at Ebury; Steve Harris, SVP at Lincoln Financial Group; and Fran Orr, AVP/ Deputy Chief Risk Officer at Premier Bank, who shed light on the importance of compliance in the age of digital banking, tackling recent technological advancements in compliance, and challenges plaguing the financial risk management landscape.
