In this edition of BDO M&A Horizons, we focus on sectors: Manufacturing, TMT, Natural Resources and Real Estate.

On a global basis, volumes and values are down and the heat map shows a decline in overall transaction appetite for 2024. However, there are signs of stabilisation in the market, with a return of private equity buyers, lower inflation, and a sense that interest rates may actually start falling. In a recent event in Seoul with our M&A partners in the Asia Pacific region we discussed the expectations of a pick up in deal activity and are encouraged by the buying appetite of Asian conglomerates and trading houses.
