However, this is likely a temporary dip as firms postpone engaging in significant deals ahead of the elections as they seek clearer guidance on future antitrust enforcement and the shifting interest rate environment. September saw only 23 deals above US$1b vs 33 deals in August 2024 and 38 deals in July 2024. Whether this softness will continue to be seen in October and November, likely not, remains a key question.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span class="copy-block">In terms of year-to-date (YTD) numbers, the year has fared pretty well, with value and volume both up by 19% YoY. The growth has been particularly pronounced in US$1b–US$10b value range, which saw 229 deals in YTD24 vs. 188 in YTD23 and 184 in YTD22. The surge in deal value is a sign of cautious optimism, as dealmakers engaged in M&amp;A despite external challenges such as persistently high interest rates — despite a recent reduction, continued inflation, geopolitical instability and heightened regulatory scrutiny.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="rich-text text aem-GridColumn--default--none aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--11 aem-GridColumn--offset--default--0"><div data-cmp-data-layer="{&#34;rich-text-ad8d093b14&#34;:{&#34;@type&#34;:&#34;ey-unified-site/components/rich-text&#34;,&#34;repo:modifyDate&#34;:&#34;2024-11-07T15:41:56Z&#34;,&#34;xdm:text&#34;:&#34;&lt;h3>&lt;span class=\&#34;copy-block\&#34;>Monthly global M&amp;amp;A trend (2022 onwards)&lt;/span>&lt;/h3>\r\n&lt;h6>&lt;span class=\&#34;copy-block\&#34;>Deal&amp;nbsp;value (US$ 100m+);
