Regional M&A is set to pick up over the next three years -PwC survey<\/strong>: <\/strong>Corporate divestitures, regional expansion and portfolio expansion are among the key trends expected to support regional M&A activity, which is expected to pick up after a sluggish 2024, PwC said in its latest report (pdf)<\/a>, citing LSEG Refinitiv data. While the region saw a 4% y-o-y decline in volume of M&A activity in 2024, which is still narrower than the 17% global decline, a PwC annual CEO survey showed that more than half of regional business leaders plan to engage in M&A transactions in the next three years. <\/p>\n

ICYMI- <\/strong>EY recently said<\/a> that the MENA region saw 701 M&A transactions last year, worth USD 92.3 bn, with the bulk of activity being in the GCC. <\/p>\n

The decline came amid a dip in cross-border transactions:<\/strong> Cross-border outbound transactions declined 32% y-o-y to 191 transactions in 2024, with the culprits being high valuations, stricter regulations, and unfavorable market conditions. \u201cDespite these challenges, regional champions, such as the UAE\u2019s Mubadala and Saudi Arabia\u2019s PIF continued their global expansion, acquiring assets across Europe, Asia, and North America.\u201d Inbound transactions also continued their multi-year decline, falling 7% y-o-y to 182 transactions last year. <\/p>\n

This might not last too long: <\/strong>\u201cThe push to develop energy infrastructure, leisure, and tourism assets is expected to create new opportunities for inbound investment,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

In other good news: appetite is strong for big-ticket transactions. <\/strong>Last year saw five transactions worth over USD 1 bn across the region, up from just one in 2023, with the largest reaching USD 3.6 bn. \u201cThe region saw a notable rise in large-ticket [transactions], reflecting the bold ambitions of investors to accelerate regional diversification, bringing in new capabilities and strategic expertise to strengthen key industries,\u201d said Romil Radia, deals market leader at PwC Middle East. <\/p>\n

Foreign PE interest also strengthened<\/strong>, highlighted by Main Street Capital's USD 40 mn investment in UAE's Gulf Manufacturing to support its acquisition of Maass Global Group, and TA Associates' acquisition of a majority stake<\/a> in Dubai's AlephYa Education. Private equity transactions accounted for 44% of total transaction volume. Still, corporates continued to dominate activity in 2024, representing 56% of total volume, with corporates favoring intra-regional transactions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sovereign wealth funds topped investor charts during the year<\/strong>, with Mubadala investing USD 29.2 bn across 52 transactions in AI, telecom infrastructure, logistics, and data centers, among others, the report said, adding that other notable active SWFs include Saudi Arabia\u2019s PIF and the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA).<\/p>\n

Industrial transactions dominated activity<\/strong>, accounting for 110 transactions \u2014 the highest number across all sectors, the report said, highlighting Adnoc's USD 3.6 bn acquisition<\/a> of OCI's 50% + 1 share stake in Fertiglobe. This was followed by consumer markets and financial services tied for second spot, with 103 transactions each.<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence + green energy are leading trends: <\/strong>Some of the most notable transactions in AI-driven solutions include Presight AI Holding\u2019s acquisition of an 11% stake in Athletic Intelligence Quotient (AIQ) from Adnoc for USD 350 mn.. Another key trend driving investments in the regional M&A industry is green energy, highlighted by Masdar's acquisition of a majority stake in Terna Energy<\/a> for USD 2.7 bn, the report said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, China\u2019s CSI 300 is flat.
