How will US inflation affect global M&A activity for the remainder of 2022? Should we expect a slowdown, or creative financing options and/or changes in deal types/structures?
I would expect overall slight slowdown during 2022 due to many reasons including inflation as well as Russian-Ukrainian war. However, I would also expect more M&A activities in the oil & gas sector and energy in general considering the high oil and gas prices that reaches its peak since 2019 driving more consolidation or even eliminating some competitors.
