“Romania followed global trends which saw overall spending of $4.4 trillion in the first nine months of 2021 alone, more than the annual peak recorded so far”, said Peter Latos, Head of Consulting, Strategy and Transactions for EY Romania.

The total value of transactions closed in Romania in the first nine months of 2021 reached $3.8 billion, up 58% from the same period in 2020. Of a total 105 deals, only six deals made up two thirds, per EY Romania data regarding the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market.

The sectors of technology, real estate and energy were the most dynamic from the beginning of 2021 until present.
