The latest data from the polish M&A market
The subject of the global economic slowdown in 2020 was overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the serious damage to the economy, the coronavirus has not limited the number of M&A transactions in Poland. In the past year, this number increased significantly compared to the previous year - 229 against 179 transactions - although not due to the eects of the lockdown. It is a consequence of, among others, rapid development of the IT industry, financial services and renewable energy.
