The value of M&A deals in Poland reached PLN 74.9 billion in 2022 - KPMG

Despite macro challenges, the Polish mergers and acquisitions market achieved its highest result in a decade in 2022. The value of deals amounted to PLN 74.9 billion, marking a one-third increase compared to 2021.

According to a KPMG report, "In the years 2020-2022 in the Central and Eastern Europe region, Poland held the first-place position both in terms of the number of M&A transactions and their value." Last year, over 340 mergers and acquisitions transactions were conducted in the Polish market.

The energy market proved to be the most attractive for investors in the Central and Eastern European region. Five of the nine largest M&A transactions in the energy and utilities sector in this region of Europe took place in Poland. The average time to complete an M&A transaction on the Polish market, from the date of first contact to signing the agreement, is approximately 10 months.
