Swiss Deals Surge: Strategics Back with $44B!
21 Sep
Summary
- Swiss deal volume increased by 20% to $44 billion in the first eight months.
- Private equity's contribution to Swiss deals was $8 billion, an eight-year low.
- Strategic buyers have returned, showing increased liquidity and lower capital costs.
In the initial eight months of this year, Swiss deal-making activity saw a substantial increase, with transaction values climbing by 20% to reach $44 billion.
This growth was primarily fueled by the re-emergence of strategic corporate buyers in the market. These entities demonstrated a greater availability of liquidity and benefited from lower capital costs, enabling them to drive deal volumes higher.
Conversely, private equity firms played a less prominent role during this period. Their contribution to Swiss deals amounted to approximately $8 billion, representing the second-lowest figure recorded over the past eight years, indicating a shift in market dynamics.
