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 Latam: 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. 

Compared to the same period in 2021, deal volume and value in the Latin America region fell 10% and 38% respectively by aggregate value during Q3 2022. Except for Brazil, Mexico and Chile lead M&A markets regionally. 

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.

What will you get from the survey?

In partnership with the M&A Community, iDeals has published the sentiment survey to support dealmakers with an internal perspective of the past two years’ impact on:
