An overview and our perspective
On the global scene, the count, and worth, of M&A transactions over the years, have been increasing. A look at the global trend from the regional perspective over the last three years to 2021, saw the highest transaction volume and value since 2015. Between 2006 and 2020, M&A to global GDP was 0.50%, with the highest and lowest ratios of 0.83% and 0.35% being recorded in 2006 and 2013 respectively.
An Overview and our perspective of Africa
Like a
smooth sail on the Atlantic Ocean, the global economic prospects looked
promising until the sudden waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to major
lockdowns, disruptions in production, erosion of fiscal space of most countries
as COVID related spending increased, and ultimately leaving most countries in
high debts.
The severity of the pandemic became manageable through medical support and the global economy was ready to set sail again. But like a seismic wave that emanates from the epicenter of an earthquake, Russia decides to invade Ukraine.
