Wiersholm's Corporate team have taken a closer look at how M&A transactions and IPOs are faring in Norway in the first half of 2024, and collected the findings in a new report. The transactional year of 2023 was slow due to uncertainty in many areas, heavily influenced by geopolitical and macroeconomic factors, capital access and valuations. The first half of 2024 has shown positive trends with an uptick in deal volumes within M&A. However, the uncertainty will likely continue to dominate the M&A activity levels and may be further fueled by geopolitical instability, results of upcoming elections and continued high inflation and interest levels. With that said, we remain optimistic that investors have become accustomed to these uncertainties and that the current positive trend in the M&A levels will continue throughout the remainder of 2024.
