As to be expected, European M&A activity in 2009 spiralled downward, with European deal flow making up just 26% of global activity by value and 37% by volume over the year, compared to 43% for both volume and value in 2008. However, tender green shoots appeared in the last quarter of 2009 giving M&A practitioners across Europe hope for the coming year.
