Over the past six months, the M&A landscape in the CEE region has faced numerous challenges, resulting in fewer transactions and lower overall value.

As Central and Eastern European economies found the growing inflation crisis in early 2022 a major obstacle, the biggest uncertainty came with the unprovoked Russian attack on Ukraine.

The implementation of the COVID-19 vaccine was a breakout in the fight against coronavirus. It has also reinforced the sense of stability in the markets on their way to normalization.

The year 2020 showed that in the face of the impossible, markets and the people who create them can cooperate and adapt.

Quarter after quarter, we will invite local experts in different fields of economy and ask them to present their individual, professional take on the current situation in the CEE region, and to share their hopes and expectations.
