Trade uncertainties threaten M&A momentum in the Middle East
Merger & acquisition (M&A) activity in the Middle East is expected to decline this year after the Trump administration's announced reciprocal global tariffs on April 2, which triggered a 'major escalation' in trade tensions, according to a new report by Norton Rose Fulbright. The UK-headquartered law firm's 'Global M&A trends and risks' report said volumes in the Middle East are expected to stall, with over half (55%) believing deal activity will decrease in the region, while only 11% of respondents expecting a year-on-year increase. However, Middle Eastern investors are expanding their global footprint, with regional investors making commitments to international deals, particularly in the US, the report stated. 'The trade uncertainties that have arisen have definitely had an effect on deals,' said Raj Karia, Global Head of Corporate M&A and Securities at Norton Rose Fulbright in London. 'Deals in flight seem to be moving slower. The other issue is the gestation of deals there seems to be a bit of a pause while people work out what all of this means.' The report also highlighted a reverse shift in certain geographies, with 28% of respondents in Asia saying their appetite for M&A activity has increased following the tariff announcements, with a renewed focus on geographies like Europe and the Middle East 'where targets are looking very attractive, and the market is favourable.' Almost 47% of respondents said they expected a significant rise in the use of representations & warranties (R&W)/warranty & indemnity (W&I) insurance in the Middle East – the largest of any region. However, 30% anticipate a smaller increase. Nearly 70% of Middle East dealmakers named private credit as one of their top two types of financing that will see the greatest increase in use in 2025. 'The versatility of private credit is one of the key drivers behind its increasing usage. Classically, it was used for sponsor-backed leveraged buyouts looking at cash-flow financing. But we are seeing private credit increasingly used for asset-based lending as well,' Norton Rose Fulbright partner Christopher Akinrele said. Digital transformation is expected to drive M&A in the Middle East, with 44% of respondents supporting this view. More than half of respondents in the Middle East expect ESG-related regulatory scrutiny to increase YoY, the law firm said. The survey respondents included 100 executives from multinational corporations, 50 from large private equity firms and 50 from major investment banks. According to consultancy firm EY, the MENA region saw 225 M&A deals in Q1 2025, a 31% increase from the 172 deals recorded in Q1 2024. Total deal value rose by 66% to $46 billion in Q1 2025, compared to $27.6 billion in Q1 2024. In the MENA region, the UAE remained the top target country, with 63 deals totalling $20.3 billion in Q1 2025. Kuwait was ranked second in terms of deal proceeds, with a total of $2.3 billion.

Norton Rose Fulbright launches Global M&A trends and risks report
Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright, in collaboration with Mergermarket, has released the third edition of its annual Global M&A trends and risks report, examining the trends shaping dealmaking around the world and including a survey of 200 top-level executives that took place across Q1 and Q2 of this year. Key findings include: New era of volatility unsettles dealmakers: When surveyed in Q1 2025, 53 percent of respondents expected their own organization's appetite for M&A to increase in 2025 compared to last year. However, the market turmoil caused by 'reciprocal tariff' announcements impacted sentiment. Popularity of deal insurance set to soar: Overall, nearly 65 percent of respondents expect the use of representations and warranties insurance (RWI) to increase in 2025 compared to 2024, including 37 percent who expect that increase to be significant (up from 26 percent in our previous study). This trend is observable in every market around the world, particularly in the Middle East and South and Southeast Asia, with more than 45 percent of respondents in both regions forecasting a significant increase in the use of RWI. Dealmakers move quickly to integrate AI: Fifty-one percent have acquired an AI business, with respondents applying the technology to various parts of their M&A processes, from deal sourcing to due diligence. Moreover, 46 percent report that they are looking to acquire an AI business in the near term. In our previous 2024 study, just 33 percent of respondents said they were looking to acquire an AI business. Strategic buyers focus on domestic targets: Respondents expect that domestic strategic buyers will come to the fore as the most active acquirers in 2025. This is particularly pronounced in emerging markets, including Latin America (74 percent), Africa (61 percent), and South and Southeast Asia (57 percent). Private credit helps to fill financing gap: At the global level, 35 percent of respondents expect it to become more difficult to secure M&A-related financing in 2025 compared with 2024. Overall, a quarter of respondents believe private credit will be the single most important form of financing to be employed in the market over the next two years for M&A deals. Respondents agree that this financing type is gaining momentum across Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Private equity ready to put dry powder to work: Forty-four percent of survey participants expect domestic private equity buyers to be among the most active types of acquirers in deal markets in 2025. Their presence will be felt across all markets, according to our respondents, with a particular emphasis on South and Southeast Asia (49 percent). Their international PE peers, meanwhile, are expected to be especially active in neighboring East Asia (41 percent) as well as Europe (also 41 percent) and Australia and New Zealand (43 percent). Raj Karia, Norton Rose Fulbright's Global Head of Corporate, M&A and Securities, said: 'We're seeing a clear shift in how clients approach M&A, with a move towards more deliberate and strategic planning. This year's report captures that evolution, with trade tensions, financing pressures and regulatory scrutiny all influencing how deals are structured and executed.' The survey respondents included 100 executives from multinational corporations as well as 50 from large private equity firms and 50 from major investment banks, all of whom have participated in M&A across multiple regions and sectors over the past two years. Results were analyzed by Mergermarket and responses were anonymized and presented in the aggregate.

MENA region records 225 M&A deals worth $46bln in Q1
Doha: According to the latest EY MENA M&A Insights 2024report, the MENA region witnessed 225 M&A deals in Q1 2025, up from the 172 deals recorded in Q1 2024, reflecting a 31% increase in deal volume when compared year-on-year. Total deal value rose by 66% to US$46bn in Q1 2025, when compared to $27.6bn in Q1 2024. Cross-border deals were the primary driver of M&A activity in the MENA region, contributing 52% of total deal volume with 117 deals and 81% of total deal value at $37.3bn. The first quarter of 2025 recorded the highest cross-border deal activity both in volume and value when compared to the same period in the past five years, as companies increasingly pursued growth and diversification beyond domestic markets. Brad Watson, MENA EY-Parthenon Leader, says: 'In 2024 we saw a steady flow of M&A deals and the MENA region continues to exhibit a robust influx of M&A transactions in 2025. This is supported by regulatory reforms, policy shifts, and a favorable macroeconomic outlook, including easing interest rates and improved investor sentiment.' 'This growth is also reflected in the steady increase of domestic M&A activity, whichcontributed48% of total deal volume in Q1 2025. The rise in domestic M&A transactions aligns with the IMF projection that MENA GDP will grow by 3.6% this year and is further supported by the strong global M&A momentum. Companies are realigning their strategies to better accommodate the need for diversification, digital transformation, and the integration of emerging technologies.' In the MENA region, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) remained the top target country with 63 deals totaling $20.3bn in Q1 2025. Kuwait ranked second in terms of deal proceeds, reaching $2.3bn, driven by two major transactions in the Diversified Industrial Products and Power & Utilities sectors. During the first three months of 2025, Canada attracted the highest outbound deal value from MENA investors at US$6.4b, while the USA remained the preferred target destination in terms of deal volume. Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) like ADIA, PIF, and Mubadala, along with other government-related entities (GREs), remained key M&A drivers in Q1 2025, aligning with national economic strategies and diversification goals. In the first quarter of 2025, M&A activity in the MENA region witnessed a 20% increase in deal volume while deal value rose significantly reaching US$8.7b as compared to $1.69bn recorded in Q1 2024. The technology sector led domestic M&A activity in MENA in Q1 2025, contributing 37% of total domestic deal value and 27% of total domestic deal volume. The largest domestic deal during the first quarter of the year was a $2.2bn acquisition where Group 42, an Abu Dhabi based AI and cloud computing firm, agreed to acquire a 40% stake in Khazna Data Centres, a digital infrastructure provider. Anil Menon (pictured), MENA EY-Parthenon Head of M&A and Equity Capital Markets Leader, says: 'The MENA deal markets remained resilient despite lack of clarity on two fronts: the impact of monetary policy on cost ofcapital and the ongoing tariff and trade discussions. The MENA deal book for the remainder of 2025 is promising and we can expect to see increased activity in consumer, technology, and energy sectors. In addition, with AI expected to drive material shifts in fundamental value, we can expect to see significant capital allocation in technology.' © Dar Al Sharq Press, Printing and Distribution.
