M&A activity across the MENA region jumped in 2025<\/strong>, with value climbing 15% to USD 106.1 bn across 884 transactions, according to a report from EY<\/a>. While domestic consolidation remained healthy, the real engine was cross-border activity, which accounted for 61% of value. The UAE and Saudi Arabia continue to dominate the landscape, capturing 59% of all regional investment and 66% of total investor activity.<\/p>\n

Why it matters: <\/strong>We are seeing a shift from defensive domestic merging toward aggressive, strategic international expansion. Domestic transactions accounted for 46% of total volume at USD 41.6 bn. Outbound capital is no longer just parked in safe havens \u2014 64% of outbound value was driven by government-related entities and sovereign wealth funds like Adia, Mubadala, and PIF, which are now using M&A to buy into global supply chains.<\/p>\n

The sector play:<\/strong> Technology and diversified industrial products led the way, making up 38% of total volume. Meanwhile, the banking sector is aggressively eyeing the India-MENA corridor, evidenced by Emirates NBD\u2019s USD 4.4 bn play<\/a> for RBL Bank.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next: <\/strong>Expect the surgical use of M&A to continue as companies look to acquire AI and tech capabilities to offset global trade uncertainties. The UAE remains the primary entry point for foreign capital, accounting for a massive 92% of total inbound value into the region.<\/p>\n
