Network Opportunities.

Bringing you the latest merger and acquisition opportunities.

This month has seen some major developments which will shape the political, economic and business landscape for many years to come. With the launch of the Labour's new Industrial Strategy, a Budget with several shocks and a new US Presidential regime on the horizon, this new world could affect the trajectory of M&A next year and beyond.

A fall in interest rates earlier this month to 4.75% was the expectation of economists, although a further reduction is seeming unlikely before early 2025, with the Bank of England looking to ensure inflation stays close to current targets.

This decrease will please M&A professionals who, according to a new survey, believe that growth strategies to achieve economies of scale and acquire new technologies are key motivations and, although still facing challenges, businesses continue to be keen to expand through M&A.
