2020 Edition: The surprising resilience of M&A in a tumultuous year
Australia | Publication | September 2021
Before anyone could understand the full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, the start of 2020 already forecast a year that was to be far from “normal”, with Brexit, the US election and other significant events set to determine dealmaker sentiment.
In our Australian Public M&A report 2020, we take a look at the year that was for Australian public M&A activity, 18 months on from the ASX’s “big drop” when global markets tumbled to lows not seen since the Great Recession of 2008. From 23 March 2020 onwards, deal making was (not surprisingly) sluggish, as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic reached our local shores and both Commonwealth and State Governments implemented lockdowns and border closures.
We consider how the Australian public M&A market has fared during what has been a remarkable 12 months and attempt to forecast what the coming year may bring, as we see a steady return to deal maker confidence.
