Panel: Global M&A outlook
This session will feature discussion with acquirers that have hit the headlines in the past year including how lower deal valuations have impacted deal origination and are today’s valuations sustainable in a new inflation and interest environment?

- How are corporates and funds going about identifying possible M&A targets and what tools do they use?
- How has the environment for financing deals changed in the past few years and what steps are corporates/advisors taking into account to address these developments?
