Abstract
The worldwide market in mergers and acquisitions declined in 2023, and this trend was also seen in Belgium. There were not only fewer transactions, but the average transaction price dropped slightly across all size segments. The main causes of this were rising interest rates, macro-economic shifts and geopolitical instability. Noticeably, however, the proportion of foreign transactions remained stable. Almost 75% say that the deal process has become progressively slower, now taking over six months on average. Finally, ESG has become more important in investment policies and companies are increasingly looking to data analytics to help in the decision-making process.
