“I think everyone is worried about rising interest rates, potential recession, everyone is seeing dark clouds on the horizon, but I think there may not be as much momentum as in 2021 and 2022, but I don’t think the ‘music will stop’,” Bogdan Vaduva said on ZF Live. “Maybe things will slow down a bit, but there is enough capital and interest for everything to continue.”
On the sectors of most interest to investors, he says there is a lot of interest in energy, especially renewable energy.
“I believe that renewable energy and the energy transition will be a pillar for the development of the economy, but also a pillar for the development of the M&A market in the next 10 years, beyond any other macroeconomic context. It is a pressing need and this pillar will continue. There will be multiple deals in 2023 as well, not only in green energy, but in the energy transition in general,” added Vaduva.
Apart from energy, other dynamic sectors in terms of mergers and acquisitions are technology, agriculture, financial services and healthcare.
