Strategy and M&A survey results: Global Capital Confidence Barometer

Our new global M&A strategy survey finds that while focusing on the implications of the COVID-19 crisis now, executives also have to plan and think beyond.

COVID-19 has created new vulnerabilities and unforeseen challenges. The full impact of revenue and profitability across the value chain is still highly uncertain. When the situation becomes clearer, companies will make faster moves than ever before to reimagine, reshape and reinvent their business. After “now” and “next,” companies will eventually focus on “beyond” — activating transformation including reconfiguring capital allocation, portfolio transformation and accelerating M&A strategy.

Discover the 2020 M&A strategy survey insights and learn why M&A remains an important tool to fuel faster growth in a recovering market.
