M&A Dries up in Mexico as Politics Get in the Way Of Dealmaking
Both domestic and international politics have made a dent in dealmaking in Mexico, a country that over the past few years had been considered a relatively safe bet.
Mergers and acquisitions in Mexico fell 36% in the first half of the year from the same period the year before, according to a July report carried out by insurance broker Aon Plc, TTR Data and Datasite. The value of deals, too, fell by 23%, making the nation an outlier among Latin American countries, where transactions dropped 6% but their value rose 7%.
