I was wondering whether the Russia-Ukraine war would impact the M&A environment in Europe in 2023.

In Brazil the impact has been positive.
Agribusinesses and mining industry, the industries I work with, are strengthened by this conflict.

We have seen a sharp increase in M&A deals mainly for strategic minerals.
Lots of companies seeing Brazil as an alternative neutral (so far at least) supplier.

Here are some potential ways in which the Russia-Ukraine war could impact the M&A environment:

1. Economic Uncertainty:
Geopolitical tensions and conflicts can create economic uncertainty, which may affect investor confidence. Uncertain economic conditions can lead to a slowdown in M&A activities as companies may be more cautious about making strategic decisions.
2. Sector-Specific Impact:
Certain sectors may be more directly impacted by the war. For example, industries related to defense, energy, and commodities might experience significant changes, affecting M&A deals in these sectors.
3. Currency and Market Volatility:
Currency fluctuations and increased market volatility are common during geopolitical uncertainties. These factors can impact deal valuations and the overall attractiveness of cross-border tunnel rush transactions.
