MENA dealmaking surged in 1Q, with M&As jumping 66% y-o-y in value to <\/strong>USD 46 bn <\/strong>across 225 transactions (up 31% y-o-y) driven by \u201cregulatory reforms, policy shift and a favorable macroeconomic outlook,\u201d EY MENA Leader Brad Watson said in the firm\u2019s latest M&A Insights<\/a> report. The UAE dominated the region\u2019s M&A league table as the top target country in 1Q with 63 transactions totaling USD 20.3 bn, followed by Kuwait (USD 2.3 bn).<\/p>\n

Cross-border activity hit a five-year high in 1Q<\/strong>, driving the bulk of growth. M&As with companies based in different countries accounted for 81% of the region\u2019s total transaction value and 52% of volume across 117 plays in the first three months of the year. <\/p>\n

The value of domestic transactions hit USD 8.7 bn, up 5x y-o-y. <\/strong>Transactions in the technology sector accounted for 37% of total domestic M&As value, and 27% of their volume. G42\u2019s USD 2.2 bn acquisition<\/a> of a 40% stake in Khazna Data Centers was the region\u2019s largest domestic M&A last quarter. <\/p>\n

The quarter saw more M&A capital outflows than inflows. <\/strong>Outbound M&A activity hit USD 19.7 bn, representing 43% of total transaction value in the region. Saudi Arabia and the UAE alone made up 77% of outbound activity by volume and 94% by value. The UK was the region\u2019s top target country by dealcount in 1Q, while Canada and Peru led in outbound value, thanks to Adnoc and OMV\u2019s joint acquisition of Canada\u2019s Nova Chemicals for USD 6.3 bn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inbound M&A value clocked in at USD 17.6 bn last quarter<\/strong>, representing a 7x y-o-y increase.The UAE captured the bulk of inbound funds into the region, accounting for 53% of all inbound transactions and nearly all of the total value (99%) fueled by the USD 60 bn merger<\/a> of Adnoc and Austrian energy giant OMV\u2019s polyolefin businesses. Austria topped the investor chart, making up 94% of the UAE\u2019s total inbound value. <\/p>\n

The MENA M&A pipeline looks strong for the rest of 2025<\/strong>, with more action expected in consumer, tech, and energy. And with AI set to shake up how value is created, it\u2019s expected that more investment will flow into the tech space, said Anil Menon, EY\u2019s head of M&A and Equity Capital Markets. <\/p>\n
