Big interest in companies from the SME sector

Similarly to the previous quarter, more than 50% of sellers were private entrepreneurs, which proves further attractiveness of Polish companies from the SME sector. In terms of transaction value, in the previous quarter mainly small transactions dominated, followed by Mid-Caps along with large transactions. Among transactions with the disclosed price in Q4 2018, we recorded 11 small transactions, 5 Mid-Caps and 5 large transactions, including 2 worth over PLN 1 billion (including PKN Orlen’s transaction with the highest value).
