Furthermore, the M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) activity in France is on the rise, with companies looking to expand their market presence through strategic acquisitions and partnerships. This trend is fueled by favorable economic conditions and low interest rates in the region.
Local special circumstances: In the United Kingdom, the Investment Banking market is facing uncertainties due to the ongoing Brexit negotiations and their impact on the financial services industry. The potential changes in regulations and market access post-Brexit are causing banks and financial institutions to reassess their operations and strategies in the region. This has led to a cautious approach to investments and a focus on risk management.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The low interest rate environment in Central & Western Europe is influencing the Investment Banking market dynamics by encouraging borrowing and investment activities.
