Macro Bites: M&A deal activity in 2024’s nuanced macroeconomic environment
CEOs will encounter a mixed macroeconomic environment when making M&A decisions in 2024. Cost fatigue, still-high interest rates and some signs of a slowing labor market could weigh on economic activity. However, expected Fed interest rate cuts and moderating inflation may set the stage for increased M&A in 2024. EY-Parthenon Chief Economist Gregory Daco, EY Americas Strategy and Transactions Vice Chair Mitch Berlin and EY Strategy and Transactions Partner Katie Johnson discuss macroeconomic trends and their expected impact on M&A deal activity in 2024, including which sectors are likely to see the most activity.
