“148 deals were signed on the M&A market in Romania last year, worth a total of about $5 billion,” says Florin Vasilica, strategy and transactions leader with EY Romania and EY CESA capital & debt advisory leader.

The main sectors that will see deals are the green energy, technology, healthcare, logistics and real estate, said those who attended the Top Tranzactii (M&A Deals) video conference of Ziarul Financiar.

“I believe the opportunity will remain in Romania; we are seeing only very ambitious companies now. Those that were not affected by the crisis and have rather ambitious plans,” says Adrian Stanculescu, head of private equity firm Abris Romania.
