The M&A market showed tentative signs of recovery in the first half of 2010 with a total of 5062 deals worth US$883bn announced across the globe. Compared to the same timeframe 12 months previous, deal volumes increased by 14% while the rise in valuations was a more modest 8%, no doubt due to continued issues surrounding deal financing as well as wider macroeconomic uncertainty.
Somewhat unsurprisingly, dealmaking has continued to largely fall in and around the lower end of the market in recent months with the average deal size for H1 2010 standing at US$174. This stands as one of the lowest half-yearly figures seen in recent times and it is remarkable that since 2005, only H1 2008 registered a lower mean.
