Most attractive M&A sectors - Health, retail and TMT

The most attractive merger and acquisition sectors in Poland are the health care sector, retail and TMT, according to Allen & Overy Law Firm partner Jarosław Iwanicki. The law firm published a report regarding M&A activity on the global market. It turns out that 2014 was the most active year with regard to M&A deals since the beginning of the global financial crisis. "The Polish market is the largest M&A market, with regard to the amount and size of M&A transactions, in the CEE," said Iwanicki. "It appears that the Polish market should generate considerable more M&A transactions, considering the stability of the Polish economy and the situation of local companies, as well as availability of funding." According to Iwanicki, the international scene will influence what happens in Poland. Especially, developments regarding Greece's eurozone (decision) or the political situation in Ukraine and the weaknesses of the Russian economy, he summed up.
