Webcast: 2013 M&A Outlook Survey

Event Overview

The year 2012 was a tumultuous one for the capital markets. The global markets were overwhelmed with the European debt crisis and a slowdown in growth in emerging markets, including China.

The United States experienced large stock market swings, uncertainty about the presidential election and an ongoing debate about the debt.

For 2013, several factors indicate that M&A will increase, and dealmakers are cautiously optimistic. The primary reasons for the positive outlook stem from large corporate cash reserves, favorable credit terms and improved consumer confidence.

To gain a better understanding of M&A market conditions, immediately after the U.S. election KPMG LLP and Mergers & Acquisitions magazine conducted a survey of more than 300 M&A professionals at U.S. corporations, private equity firms and investment funds. This webcast highlights the survey findings and provides insight into the outlook for M&A in 2013.

Professionals from KPMG's M&A Tax, Transactions & Restructuring, Private Equity and Corporate Finance practices share the results of the survey and provide a critical window into the views of leading M&A professionals.
