Mexican M&A activity has moderated in the wake of global uncertainty and inflation, says Marcela Chacón, research and business analyst at research firm Transactional Track Record (TTR).

Chacón told BNamericas investors are now looking to lower-risk and longer-term opportunities.

TTR, in collaboration with Intralinks, recorded a total of 191 operations in Mexico during the first half of 2022 – including mergers and acquisitions, private equity, venture capital and asset acquisitions – with 100 of these disclosing deal value amounting to US$7.44bn.

The data reflects a 5% increase in the number of operations and a 32% rise in their value compared to the first half of 2021, with 2022 marked by a strong start that has since begun to cool.
