Companies have accepted the reality of a prolonged low-growth environment

Having accepted that global economic growth is unlikely to accelerate in the near term, companies are looking for new avenues to enhance their revenues and protect their earnings.

A rigorous focus on costs and efficiencies, combined with bold organic and inorganic growth plans, is a prerequisite for surviving in a low-growth, low-inflation, low-interest-rate environment.. What is your perspective on the state of the global economy today?

key risks to many businesses.

concern for companies. What do you believe to be the greatest economic risk to your business over the next 6–12 months?

After a record 2015, M&A expectations ease, but with little sign of a major downturn

The continuation of a steady stream of dealmaking in the first months of 2016 has reassured companies that the deal markets are unlikely to suffer a big drop after a record 2015.

While there is an increase in the number of respondents predicting a decline, the big shift is towards a stable market. What is your expectation for the M&A market over the next 12 months?

Middle market companies continue to acquire as they look for new growth opportunities

Do you expect your company to actively pursue acquisitions in the next 12 months?

Deal intentions have slipped back since October 2015 for Middle market companies, while the largest businesses continue to have a strong appetite for deals.

Companies are actively seeking out growth opportunities in a low-growth environment.

The need to respond positively to disruption is also spurring dealmaking intentions.

Uneven global economic growth propels companies to look for options across the board

Companies continue to show robust discipline in dealmaking

Companies are more prepared to walk away from deals that do not fulfil all their investment criteria.

Increasing focus on thorough due diligence has led to the collapse of intended acquisitions.

Companies are not willing to overpay for assets and are unwilling to compromise on price. Have you either failed to complete or cancelled a planned acquisition in the past 12 months? If you answered yes, what was the primary reason?
