We have released our second Finnish M&A market update in 2022. In this material, we discuss the recent trends in the Finnish M&A markets and give an overview of the outlook going forward.
Highlights:
- M&A market in Finland continued to be strong despite the geopolitical tensions arising from the Russian invasion in Ukraine
- Q2 2022 M&A volumes were burdened by uncertainty, but were still clearly above the start of the COVID-19 crisis in Q2 2022
- Finnish companies were highly active in M&A during Q1 2022, but Q2 2022 M&A volumes were mainly driven by divestments of Russian operations
- Finnish IPO activity has slowed down since the record activity in 2021. Low activity is anticipated to continue in H2 2022
- The decreased attractiveness of IPOs together with record dry powder will support M&A activity going forward
