【Global annual transaction volume exceeds 3 trillion USD, merger bankers believe next year will be better with Trump in office】Golden Finance reports that merger bankers are regaining their footing in 2024, currently observing whether Donald Trump's second term will promote or hinder the nascent recovery. Data shows that as central banks begin to cut interest rates, global transaction volume has grown by 16% this year to 3.1 trillion USD. "The favorable situation for 2025 is basically set in stone," said Dan Grabos, head of Barclays Americas M&A based in New York. "The U.S. elections are over, and the market is generally optimistic that we will be in an environment conducive to growth with relaxed regulations. I believe we will continue to see various types of deals — from major transactions over 10 billion USD to medium-sized activities."
