In partnership with the M&A Community, iDeals surveyed 354 M&A professionals in Iberia and Latam, consolidating their insights and overall sentiment on how the latest challenges and disruptions affected their firms, cross-border transactions, marketing focus, and deal flow.

Dealmaking in Iberia: Navigating through turbulent times

Through years of unprecedented global disruption and uncertainty, dealmakers had to take their commitment to new heights, adapting at an unparalleled speed. Yet, after the most turbulent times of the pandemic, the flight is still bumpy and far from over, and M&A professionals still carry on. 

Despite political instability and the lasting effects of a global pandemic, the number of deals in Iberia remains relatively resilient, with Spain seeing 88,81EURm in total aggregated deal value and 2001 disclosed transactions YTD (October 2022). And while most finalized transactions are happening in the Real Estate industry, technology deals continue to be a big part of the activity, with companies continuously moving towards digital transformation. 

Looking to provide you with an internal view of how M&A professionals are managing uncertainty, the forecasted sentiment, and the business responses to 2020 and 2021, including the impact on the fees charged and their marketing focus, our survey focused on corporate advisors (57% of the respondents) actuating in the middle market.
