Polish M&A waiting for the inflow of investment activity
The value and number of mergers and acquisitions in Poland do not go hand in hand
Growing involvement of foreign investors
Popularity of Virtual Data Room on the Polish M&A market growing at a dizzying pace
As predicted, the M&A market in Poland in the 1Q 2019 continued to grow steadily, although there was a slight slowdown. The volume of transactions decreased - we recorded a total of 46 transactions (a 26% decrease compared to Q4 2018 and an 8% increase compared to Q1 2018). Transactions values were smaller than those at the end of the year - among those with the disclosed value, small and medium deals prevailed.
The publicly available data show that in 1Q 2019 as much as 50% of transactions were organized using the Virtual Data Room technology (46% of transactions were recorded in the same period last year), which is the largest result reported by us so far. We are glad that the popularity of Virtual Data Room on the Polish M&A market is growing, and VDR is today a synonym of a professional approach to the transaction.
