The IMF has forecast GDP growth of 2.6% for MENA this year, up from 1.8% a year earlier, even as lower oil prices and higher financing costs weigh on exporters. The dealflow reflects those pressures, with buyers gravitating toward mid-sized, policy-driven transactions in digital infrastructure, healthcare, and green industry. In the absence of a global rebound, the region is leaning on domestically anchored M&A to sustain momentum. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The UAE retain<\/strong><strong>ed its regional lead with 95 transactions in 1H 2025<\/strong>, while Egypt nearly doubled its tally to 86, and Saudi Arabia closed 59 plays. Together, the three markets accounted for 89% of all regional activity in 1H. Cross-border flows increasingly remained within the region, with intra-MENA transactions climbing to 134, which PwC says is a sign of \u201cgrowing integration and investor confidence across the region.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Transaction values t<\/strong><strong>ell a more cautious story: <\/strong>Nearly all of disclosed M&A came in at under USD 100 mn, while no megadeals of over USD 5 bn were struck for the second year running and only six transactions cleared the USD 100 mn mark. Smaller, faster-to-close agreements have become the preferred play as buyers target assets that can be financed without stretching balance sheets, particularly in volatile rate and oil environments. PwC also says this reflects a deliberate tilt toward targeted acquisitions that add capabilities and align with state priorities, rather than scale-for-scale\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Large-cap<\/strong><strong> activity was scarce but still notable:<\/strong> Maaden\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/ksa\/en\/news\/story\/9841af80-7437-460f-89dc-0f107ad8cb23\/ma%25e2%2580%2599aden-to-acquire-sabic%25e2%2580%2599s-shares-in-bahrain%25e2%2580%2599s%253cmark%253e-alba%253c%2Fmark%253e\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">USD 964 mn<\/a> purchase of a 20.6% stake in Aluminium Bahrain stood out in industrials, while Elm\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/ksa\/en\/news\/story\/223434bc-631e-47fe-873f-9ab33a8178fb\/%253cmark%253eelm%253c%2Fmark%253e-inches-closer-to-thiqah-sar-3.4-bn-takeover\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">USD 907 mn<\/a> takeover of Thiqah reinforced Saudi Arabia\u2019s push in digital services.
