Opening keynote: An overview of global and national trends and their impact on the M&A market

2024 began with numerous challenges on both international and national fronts. Despite macroeconomic uncertainties and instability, Italian market operators maintain an optimistic view of the next 12 months, with a positive outlook on the M&A and private equity markets. The first two quarters of the year have shown a prudent approach to deal-making, though the number of deals since January 2024 has remained consistent with 2023 levels.  The main drivers of Italy's economy for 2024 are likely to be increased internationalisation, energy and technology transitions, and the strengthening of national infrastructure. In this respect, the Italian 'National Recovery and Resilience Plan', operating within the framework of the 'Next Generation EU' programme, is expected to play an increasingly crucial role and provide a significant boost to relevant industries. This keynote will examine current macroeconomic trends and their impact on the PE and M&A markets in Italy.
