Global mergers and acquisition (M&A) activity hit a record high for the third straight month in May, driven mainly by low interest rates, soaring equities and higher dealmaking interest in sectors that have received a boost from the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to Refinitiv data, the total value of pending and completed deals announced from the January-May period touched $2.4 trillion, an all-time record. Last month, $532.9 billion worth of deals were recorded, the highest for the month of May.
During the five months, 428 deals worth over $1 billion were struck, compared to 131 during the same period last year.
The surge in deals comes as more companies look to deploy massive war-chests as they focus on expanding their businesses, and as major economies across the world are resuming normal business after ramping up vaccination efforts.
